Mars 42 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I've only had 1 ............. And he was a f.ucking nightmare! To be fair he was far too much dog for a normal person, and a big mistake on my part was buying him not knowing what he was (I knew he was a Bull X obviously) He attacked and bit me 3 times (all 3 times when out walking and he decided he wanted to try and kill other dogs) The first time was at 6 moths old, maybe I should have dealt with him then. Everything was on the menu for him, sheep, horses, cows, terriers, and yes I have had dogs around me all my life and did try to break him to stock. When he was in the house he was a pleasure to be with, an big soft dope, but as soon as he went out he switched on and that was that, a maniac and a liability. I'll never have another, my nerves couldn't cope! I'd be the first to admit that I made a mistake getting what turned out to be a "fast lane" dog, simply too much dog for general mooching, he needed to be out killing stuff all the time, and to be dead honest I wasn't prepared to risk my liberty taking him! Dog is no longer, I could have passed him on, but he was already no good for serious work after he'd collapsed one night last year, I know now that I should have let him go then, but instead I spent £1300 getting him back .............. That dog cost me a relationship, a home and an awful lot more. We live and learn. RIP Spike " Phew "..... I almost bought that pup myself...!!!! My Own now retired bull X has been the best dog i`ve ever owned, and in her day has done all you`d expect from a Bull X, A very steady bitch, worked with all sorts of other dogs and never a fight.. And back in 2006 Novice Obedience champion at Chatsworth Yis Mars.. Quote Link to post

bobslurchers 1 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have never owned a bull x before but they would certainly be a dog I would consider getting, as I have been around quite a few bull types and their crosses. I also own a bull x rottie, who is a brilliant dog - big soppy lapdog indoors and scary looking guard dog out of doors. I think it all depends on the quality of the bull that its crossed with, some have drive but have the ability to switch off/calm down when required and be a "normal" dog where as others will try to chase/play with/kill anything they see.

hickymick 37 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Anything to do with bullx's is going to be a contestious issue due to the fact that they get bred willy-nilly(sad fact)and its also the type of people that own this breed(another sad fact).The latter must drive the "proper" bull x boys feckin crazy,I know it would me if I was one of them.I know theres bad dogs and even more bad owners but the bull x is really suffering at the moment where the other x's are not.......they have become a victim of their own success as a breed which is also a sad fact. spot on buddy no bad dogs only bad owners,bull x is the mike tyson off the dog world,with a good trainer to keep him in line,unbeatable,,was tyson,,trainer died nd then what not everyone can handle them,cos they try 110% on every thing,even try for alph male,,which is bad!!!!you have to break them as a puppy nd never give them an inch keep on top drill it in,,atb,mick Quote Link to post

Guest PIKEYLAMPER Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Just read the whole thread got really boring when the lads started bitching. What i make of this thread is blitz has bull x lurchers that hes happy with. Red collar has his own strain that hes happy with. Am interested does anyone else on this site have dogs off blitz/redcollar?? They sound like the real deal these dogs. I mean Redcollar is sayin hes had dogs for 40years yet hes 40 years old. Anyway if you have had these types for 40years then what dogs are you breeding? whats the breeding of your main stud dog. I mean if you have kept dogs for 40years you should know the ins an outs of the dogs you are runnin. Quote Link to post
