bird 9,602 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 there are bred for tenacity, strength,agilty,and not bad grey matter. Pre Ban if your quarry bite back, these were+ are the lurcher for that job. And if thats (not) what you not into, well you aint going to like or want a bullx.They are not a new x , they were around 70s and before. Ive seen alot of differnt xs, over the years take most quarry. But i never seen anything better as fox dog than a (well bred) bullx, and even if just for rabbits a drop of bull blood in any lurcher, will give you 100% trier to fill that bag. Ive had colliexgreys got one now Bryn, great rabbit dog so were my other colliexs.And i ve had bullxs before all good dogs ,got Tod 3/8 bull 5/8 grey with bit of luck should be ok .Ive always said get the right dog for the job.!! So why you got Todd?? Is it because Bryn wont do anything but rabbits??. i dont really know, he is 4 in sep and only caught edible game in all that time. Ok you bump in to few red coats when out, when lamping rabbits.I suppose if i really wanted to test him , i think he might as he does have plenty of fire in his belly, but he is brill on edible stuff so i just stuck with that .My other colliexgrey i used to have would do them, and he had temp like Bryn.Ive had as i said bullxs before Tod is my 3rd, he is very well bred dog from proven dogs. And he is the same blood in him as my last bullxgrey who was good dog on the above quarry.Thats why i had him with a bit of luck he should be as good Quote Link to post

jacob 28 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 A bull x can be very attractive on the eye. even an average bred one stands out. I could easily fall for that myself. But if you are looking for a true working lurcher, its a long term commitment. Never marry a bird that you have only just met. or one that you come across on the internet. Try going on a few dates, even with the less attractive ones. they may surprise you. As a "virgin" in this lurcher life you need experience. a beautiful "slapper" may excite you right now, but fools rush in where angels fear to tread. You dont have enough experience to be so definitive in your choice of hound right now. classic,that should be pinned Quote Link to post
