buckeroo 2 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Is there not many using this cross?A friend of mine has one,for its age its doing things you wouldn't expect of a dog its age.I'm not talking killing or catching prey(still only a pup)but inteligence and confidence in abundance,if its hunting capabilities come to the fore aswell then this dog should make the next 6-12 months very interesting!

brother 10 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 crikey not enough bone, bone has nothing to do it, a few people have seen this dog take fox also have a 16.5" bitch that takes them as well, its nothing to do with bone, its all about heart Quote Link to post

buckeroo 2 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Whats the chances of buying one of j powells bull/whippets when he breeds them?Or are they bred to order my mate as a b/w not one of powells,but what i've seen of this breed has really impressed me.Fully agree with you johnny boy that dog on the cover is a GEM...excuse the pun Quote Link to post
