1/4 bull 3/4 grey

[iceman001979 1,316]

Just wondering what the stamina is like with your 1/4 bull 3/4 greys?????

Why am asking is my mate has one one fastest dogs l have seen in a while but after about 8 runs on bunnies its wreaked.

Seen this dog on lamp on hare and its 4 legs just give way from underneath it the run was not even a min.

The dog not breed for bunnies or hares but for the foxes and he as killed few out with terriers but l can see the big dog come a crop not because he does not have it but if he gets a hard run on the lamp next year will he have the energy to finish the job or take bad eating because he wrecked .

So just wonder if anybody else runs this cross and have same props.

Oh and by the way the dog is fit run behind van and swimming well walked as well feed and good stuff

Would like to here on this myself ??

If your mate's dog is fit, looks well and in good nick - I'd maybe tell him to get it checked out for any underlying probs eg heart lungs. As running out of puff after 8 runs - even for something with 3/4 greyhound - on a rabbit and front legs giving way underneath it isn't the norm. Just a thought?

Most 3/4 breds iv seen have been burners (Not all before everyone jumps on the band wagon) ,

 

But not after a few sharp bursts on rabbits, Iam on about the longer runs on hare deer (Pre ban) after a few runs on the bigger open crop land round me,

 

I think any X's when fit is good for 10 rabbits imho....

 

Maybe next year run him on a few a few times aweek just to help build his recovery rate up after each run,

We where out at the end season doing we bit off lamping l had my old bitch and my mate had his 1/4 bull AND A 7 months old pup not many rabbits about the land takes about hour or so to walk .We must have had 8 -10 slips each with the pup getting few runs on couple in the bed.

Coming into the last field there was rabbit right in the middle there is no fence into the next field and the dog chase into the 1st field going into the second the rabbit pulled away and the dog was walking after it wrecked.

Surely it should more then that in the tank,the dog was not pulling up after the rabbit it was trying but was walking any one run 1/4 that this happens to

As above. 7 months it's still a VERY young pup. Why are people in so much of a fecking rush to start pups off? Give em time, more so with a lot of the bigger/greyhoundy types

Edited cause i read the post wrong..

 

 

[iceman001979 1,316]

Too young IMHO ,

I wouldn't do a thing with him now till the crops are down again and give him a few easy runs and build up from there lamping wise,

 

And for ''killing'' foxes while out with the terriers i deffo wouldn't be doing that at 7mths supposing i had a tiger!

 

 

And back too 3/4 as you put every one iv seen were good for 8 rabbits easily...

what you talking about not read :doh:

7 MONTHS???? Maybe that's the problem. You say the dog is fit and well and been running behing a van??? It's only 7 months and it's 3/4 greyhound - the big dogs shouldn't be entered too quick and this is too quick in my opinion. How fit can your mate expect the puppy to be at that age.
