Terrier man 38 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I've not seen one that stood out, seen rio run and tbh I'd rate hime below a few others I've seen. Probably the best one actually is the billy dog I have here now What was the point of even mentioning rios name when you rate him below others in a thread called "best fox dog ever seen"? If not just to bad mouth the dog? You must have a high standard to rate him so low when well seasoned/experienced men rate him so highly.... His son iv got here does more then is asked of him time and time again. As for best fox dog iv seen to catch a fox would be a first cross collie/grey axle he didnt leave anything out of the field 9 he did one night single handed but wasnt the quickest to finnsh them ... Best allround fox dog iv seen work was a 3/4hound 1/4 ebt he was unstopable so we thought till a concrete cattle trough but had 12 one night single handed used to kill foxes in a flash . thats alot of foxs 12 in a night for 1 dog, how big height+weight was the 3/4g 1/4 ebt.They swear by them in Oz ebtxs for wild boar, they seem to think that they are better to x with otherdogs, than a apbt.As some pitxs want to fight the boar more than hold it thats what they reckon. I would have thought any x would learn to hold if schooled right if from a young dog, maybe they just dont like pits. I will get onto the fella who had him and see if he has a few pics..all he used do was lamp this dog Was a few years back now but if memory serves me right he was 27-28 inchs never knew his exact weight but was always said to be about 75lbs + a fair lump but suprised a fair few with his gears was a real rough animal saw him hit a few things fences ditchs etc but he always got straight back up into the course and never saw the end of his stamina but he saw the end of ours and that night he knocked thos it was supposed to be the 2 batterys that didnt last. Ya bird heard the lads in Oz ar mad for the english bull blood. only other ebt x lurcher iv seen was a half cross proper ugly b*****d but a right one around a hole. Died of a heart attack highly strung would be putting it lightly If you ask me there not that different to the pit cross when there brought down to the 1/4 but iv seen away more useless dogs come off pits but thats due to the lack of good honest working ebts left.

And the line of staffs he came from were old lines from the black country. And prob like these staffs, there must still be few good ebt lines about .? Quote Link to post

lucky 578 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've seen some belters over the years and the best probably had no more than a quarter bull in there make up.. The ones that always stood out to me were the dogs that you could work sore if needed and i can recall a couple of dogs we had a few year back that were worked like this for most of the season both were a mixture of collie bull and greyhound......
