Guest stewie Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 In my opinion a dog is as clever as you make it, young brains are like sponges, they soak everything up, the more you teach a dog when young the more sense it will have, obviously genes come into play, a bull breed isn't going to be as intelligent as collie say but then what they lack in brain they make up for in other ways. f*****g hell kay you got your teachers hat on tonight aint you Quote Link to post

collie/grey 238 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Dont you find that they are just too slow? No, depends what type of bull x you have. My jodie in my signature is 1/4 bull and can catch most qaurry with ease, she wouldn't stand a chance on a daytime hare, she could keep up but not close in but i didn't get her to be an out and out hare retriever. The half cross i owned who died through a major fit at ten month old was also shapeing up well and he could motor, he caught his first daytime bunny 2 weeks before he died, hourses for courses, if everyone liked the same it would be a boring world we lived in.

Trigger 26 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 if anyone thinks bulls have no pace, stamina you get in a ring and fight like they can do for as long, or have any of you seen a pure in shape running fuk me they dont burn out i took a 50 pound bull out for a week unfit started him of 5 miles up hills not easy torain (i was on a bike) him pulling me, buy day 4 we where doing 8 miles without no stops flat out, then some tyre workout. the bull brings alot of stamina into the mix and anyone who thinks different well we know that your talking from non experience just stuck in your ways i disagree.

stevesel 18 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Dread theres no need to get personal, i was only asking why people bothered with bull crosses. They seem very popular at the moment and i might even get one when my dog is ten years old,by then he will have slowed to the pace of a 2year old bullcross. Anyone else run a labradeerhound? 2 Quote Link to post

lietome 138 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Do breeders of bullcrosses breed for any brainpower or just brawn and the desire to kill stuff and how do they ever catch anything the ones ive seen are really quite slow. Not wishing to offend anyone just a simple question. think the saluki comes in a bit below the bull in brainpower Quote Link to post
harddigging 42 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 personally i find my bull x all off the clever fast and agile, when i go in the kitchen he knows excatly whats happening his ears prick up n everything, then once im back in the front room he posed and ready on the sofa an once i throw that biscuit you wanna see the speed he leaps at it and he even often catches it on the second bounce. so there alone is evidence off agility speed and brains, out smart a simple collie x any day off the week.

chimp 299 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 ive seen a first cross course one of them 'greyhound ferrets' , proper gassed the bullx. girls dog Quote Link to post
CorkyJohn 808 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Half x's are only good for hares clipped with an airgun on the lamp & hole ends. You need a bit more GHD in the mix to make a dog with enough speed for most quarry Quote Link to post
