  5. . so what should i go for the bull,or the collie cross ????. whats your thoughts on them,before i make my mind up. ASK YOUR SELF WHAT IS THE MAIN QUARRY YOULL BE HUNTING , THEN IF YOU GET THE CHANCE , GO AND WATCH AS MANY DIFFERENT DOGS PERFORM THAT TASK AS POSSIBLE, ........ YOU MAY DECIDE YOU WANT TO TRY A BIT OF EVERYTHING , WICH STARTS OFF THE EVER POPULAR ARGUEMENT WHAT IS THE TRUE ALLROUNDER, BUT SOME DOGS OR CERTAIN CROSSES MAY ONLY BE SUITABLE AT THE TASK THEY WERE BRED FOR. PICKING A DOG ISNT ABOUT FASHION, ITS ABOUT CHOOSING A DOG FOR A JOB, ..... TAKE THE TIME OUT TO WATCH AS MA
  6. most people when they set out to breed a bull x [ half x ] use a bull sire and a greyhound dam to keep the speed there as if its bred the other way around you can end up with skinny bulls, this tends to be the trend , ........ keeping as much speed as possible, whilst adding power, jaw, prey drive etc, .... so if the bitch has so much to do with the outcome of the pups , why do we see so many 3/4 1/4,s bred a half x sire back to a pure greyhound . surely this is watering the mix down too much, wouldnt it be better to put a pure greyhound over a half x bitch, ..... i know on paper there both 3/

  17. brick built ones can be very cold especially in winter , secure , but cold !!
  18. ,If you were shooting these foxes you would have cleaned up !!! anyone can pull a trigger , if you miss ... ahh well , if you hit its the best shot ever , try training a dog from seed and watch it , and nurture it to adult hood , ............. thats hunting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
