Bill I can't really understand 1/2 of what you said there mate. But I'll have a shot
I get the feeling you are saying I bred from sub standard stock,I won't get drawn into a dick measuring competition. I bred of a bitch that was 8 year old and done everything a bull cross is expected to single handed.
I have always said self-praise is no praise at all. I am critical of any dog I keep ,to a fault at times ,so ask lads who have had pups off me to give a fair appraisal. I won't big up dogs ,and it tends to come across as I am unhappy. For what I do ,they suffice.
Am I saying he goes coursing bull X, or collie cross. NO. I said buy a pup off parents that he'd own with a bit of breeding behind them doing what he wants, what breeds are there is entirely dependant on what he likes ,if that happens to be Buck , so be it . I've seen buck in the flesh and he is some animal .
This thread isn't about my dogs it's about what to use Buck over .
I gave a reply , I did'nt say use mine ,or anyone elses,or mines better that anyone elses. I don't really care what anyone on line thinks about me ,or my dogs ,they are for my enjoyment.
Again I won't get drawn into what a dog can do on line , in light of recent operations by the BBC.
You clearly have a lot of experience breeding bill , I salute you. ATB Roy

Also bill I don't think adding coursing dog to a lurcher is a fix all solution I tried it ,the litter are all fair and decent . The ones that have more time spent on them have showed most promise.
Would I do it again ,maybe not... hence me giving ray the advice early on .....use someone else's hard work and buy a pup off parents that do what you want and have done so for generations. And where you'd own both in a heart beat.

Yes bill I know what Johns pup could do ,a friend has seen it run many times.
Regarding bull coursing types .....they do ok for what they are but mine is in no way a world beater.
Regarding reds per session I don't know what you are referring to .
How many cinema ?....
The rest I wouldn't respond to on an open forum .
The litter I bred,their feet are good ,they have enough brain to run and not enough to think about not running ,which does me.
I haven't decried a type ,I just said adding a pure malinois to buck might not suit many , and knowing ray I don't think ,going by what he said early in the thread that it would suit him.
And most importantly I said ,just the way I see things .....never said I was right. All the best bill

Sorry to hear about the broom ,but don't pay extortionate prices for a new one ,especially when emotions are running high.
I always find the best come for little money or nowt . I took mine from a site labourer that was careless and not looking after his the way he should have been. I think I done it a favour .
Chin up pal I'm sure some one in the game may be along soon and will help you out maybe a council road sweeper that has only leaned on his a short while.

But surely buck to a malinois would be slower than buck.
When you mention malinois crosses catching hares ,they'd be at near 1/2 greyhound ,theses would be a 1/4 .
Reverse crosses may be ideal for some that want dogs to be a ferreters dog or a moocher but I'd say a step backwards for a lurcher ,generally, anyway.
Of course they suit some and some will say they know a dog that does this or that ,but for the most part they would suit very few.
Just my take on things

I can't see what a reverse cross would do any better. Maybe make decent guards. For most they'd be a tad slow.

yeh vin, dogs from proven line over 6-8 gens , that doing the job you want in your lurcher, is the way to go , like ive said on here and to you and tomo few times as 1xs go both dogs have been good dogs , maybe ive been lucky as on here . i prob end up getting a pup in from lurcher x lurcher proven dogs when the time right, no hurry [BANNED TEXT] old Bryn gone could be couple years away yet, dont want more than 2 dogs anytime, so plenty of time . all it was that Buck good dog, and shame not to use his genes , it wont happen as people stick to popular and conventional dogs racy type dogs , still it was only thinking about the future , in 3 years time i might not want another dog anyway, when you get to my age , you start to look at thing differently mate it a twat getting older .!!
Maybe in a few years time,if you want another dog ,a dog like Brynn might suit you,he seems a little less full on and smaller and easier to handle.

Fair play Ray I hope at 66 I'm still capable thinking of my next dog.
Be just my luck to be screaming at my carers to wipe my arse and thinking my kids are breaking in my house

I'd use someone else's hard work and opt for a dog that does what you want,and has a few generations behind it doing that.
Or just by a pup out of a breeding you fancy

Everyone makes mistakes early on ,you sound like you've learned from them ,some carry on making the same ones for years.
Your dog sounds like it's had a great life and if asked I'm sure it wouldn't complain.

I suppose the proof is in the pudding ...so to speak they seem to do some lads . Bulls of most discription have plenty of drive. I suppose the same can be said for adding bull to anything but is been done on numerous occasions including gundogs

They ain't bad dogs,not bull crosses

Cheers mate she's a first cross. Still a pup only 14 months showing great signs so far very biddible great nose n will enter any cover only seen a few bits but seems very keen. She flys through the forestry no probs been walking up there daily since a young pup so well used to it I suppose. Hopefully will see what she' made of next season
Nice and racy and plenty of leg Phil for a 1st cross,some seem to throw that way ,the bull crosses I've had or used in the past tended to go the same way

Had x rays today vets say they can’t see anything wrong with it apart from inflamed tissue. Possible there may be foreign bodies in the wrist where he had a cut. But they sending x rays off to specialists to have a look so they will let me know within a week if they find anything and take it from there.
If the stopper bone is broken it can be serious though
