Only seen 2 myself, they would be to slow for me,depends what you want it for i guess,Heard others say they have faster ones,but if you need a bit of pace i woundt chance a half cross.

[Guest bluemink]

I think it depends on the bull used...

[bull101 35]

i had a 1st x, which was quite heavy and ran really well, and also had a few hares!! but i do think it depends on the dog as iv seen a lot of other 1st x's that could not run for their life!!

[merle24 61]

Drawing dogs, why do you want a fast drawing dog

[themayor 1]

because he dont want to be standing around for hours for his dog to draw him he mite get bored and wants to race him against rolph harris lol

ha ha, nah serious iam not a fan, had a first cross bullx grey bitch, she was nippy yeah but i wouldnt say fast, depends what you class as fast, there quick little dash dog some of them but not over any kind of distance just short bursts really. should be fast enough to catch rabbits if not to heavy and when fit depends how it genes throw i surpose.

[shaun dee 7]

ive got a first x bitch and shees not the bees knees on rabbits as there are better x's for rabbits ( but she can catch them allday and even the odd long ear just takes a bit longer i think because of the build shees turning with .but shees not let me down yet on everything we have came across whilst being out both big and small game atb .shaun.

[GET THEM OUT (.)(.) 39]

no they aint slow, imo, ive seen many 1st cross, all had the speed to gain on a charly, but some strugled on the turn, not all good catch dogs are fast, my bull bitch aint very fast at all, but she has had some amazing catches and have never let me down yet,

there fast anoth if you cataplt them out the scuby window

[Simoman 110]

Depends what you class as fast, obviously not on par with a pure running dog mix. I have seen first crosses run and they had variable speed. I had a first cross that was fast enough for everything but hares could only be taken on the lamp. This was years ago before current legislation made this illegal. They were bred for a specific task were blistering pace wasn't the main requirement...........
