L8SPORTS 19 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 How have you found your bull x to be when not out on the field Do they take more of a greyhound on or bull I no each dog is diffrent I would like to hear your views Also what are they like at home and with the family Quote Link to post
JLR 42 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 They all different in my eyes I've got 3 they soft as owt on their own. Boystrous when they get together. Pick a fight wi each other or any others they will get stuck in. It depends how they brought up I rec. then again the bull is always there an you have to remember that! Quote Link to post

SalukiBULLJP 27 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 all differ in ways of focus and temperament but in all cases the bull x is a strong gene strain.its always been added into most hunting bred dogs to add size and strength and as a few lads will tell you its been added to track dogs to make amazing 1st cross bull greyhound lurchers ....it takes a good dog and makes it stronger and a bit keener if this was lacking in the breed you already had. ..ideal for any lurcher owners wanting to add more build and attitude into the offspring...lovely with kids and mines in the house at all times.very loyall like all lurcher types and just that bit headstrong when worked with other dogs as they all want to better than the other dogs............my hints are to cross with a track greyhound maybe or collie/deerhound grey/salkuki cross greyhound or something else with pace and stamina to keep the pups lighter depending on the quarry its worked on-1st bull crosses always sway to the bull makeup ie.strong jaw and muscular body and legs but 2nd 3rd and 4th crosses are more sighthound shaped but keep the drive and mindset of the bull..(very keen and strong preydrive)..rabbits and rats are legal quarry but for something that'll bite back id pick a bull cross every time....

stoaty 171 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 mines a right dope hes laid back great companion well behaved ,obediant and suprising for me great with little dogs they are however well in my dogs case very sensitive he likes to please mines not the type of dog to shout and scream at.Theres a small terrier around here thats always having a go at him and he doesn't bother saying that a lab piled into when he was a pup and My dog flipped literally like a switch went on and lets say my dog got the upper hand.But out working hes great to be with laid back and a pleasure to own .But imo you have to keep an eye on them they can just take a dislike to a certain dog so better safe than sorry Stoaty 4 Quote Link to post
L8SPORTS 19 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks lads Do u find them to be a guardy dog when on the yard? Quote Link to post
dymented 2,220 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Its all down to the way you bring them up i trust mine 100% with people and dogs They ant guard dogs In all the years Ive had them only had one that would bite or threaten any one that came in the yard and i put that down to protecting the man child he doted on him Now when i run them all its a different matter for a strange dog . But then i could put a strange dog in the back off the motor and not one would kick off with it Quote Link to post

hullhunter 219 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 all 3 of mine are very good with my kids and other dogs, they are also good with people when out but if a stranger go's into my yard they all go sick trying to get out of there runs they have never had the chance to bite anyone in my yard but i dont dout for a second the would witch is mad as they dont bat an eye when out for walks and will let anyone come over to me. i trust mine completly with my kids(well as much as you can trust any dog with kids) then there is my other one he dont like dogs he dont know he is no good round my kids and and will fight any dog that tryes to domenate him he is a total pain in the ass but he is shaping up to be a good worker Quote Link to post
Beno1985 0 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have a 3/8 5/8, he is now 4 years old and still as mad as a pup. He's great with people and other dogs but that's how I trained him My only problem with the dog is is over excitement when on the lamp real game keen to go pulling on the lead. This is the drive I guess. Secondly he's a moaning b*****d if let in the motor he will winge n squeak is this common of The bull trait I've been told previous it is ?? Or is my dog just a wimp Quote Link to post
