Bryan 1,361 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Lurchers are only judged on gameness, speed, strike,retrieve are just for historical interest. Quote Link to post
2.8 guy 403 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi yes your right about the bull content, i too have had lots of lurchers but needed one 2 years ago and looked around for a lurcher pup after much thought i decided to try a bull.i got one out of a strain and well known breeder, has it happened she has turned out well i do think fashion has a thing to play and i wouldnt go get a random one as some people breed for looks and money there is breeders out there who breed old types of lurcher stick to your guns and find one the way you want it bred 2 Quote Link to post

Agree 100 percent.Never could see the reason for the bull cross.The first lurcher,s were were bred for speed and couning.Catcher 3 Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 The only lurcher you will ever need is a Patterdale/Greyhound........... Quote Link to post
cammyerl1 28 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Nothing against bull type dogs i own a pure bull type as apet n great dogs but what i mean is any.lurcher ive seen.in the feild has never been short of guts or balls so why the big need for the bull through it, i have been around lurchers since birth and can.honestly say id never seen a lurcher with bull through it til i checked this site out and we used to regulary meet with guys from all over, nothing against bull x owners caise from what ive seen there is some handy dogs on here with bull in them just an observation Quote Link to post
jamie mc 168 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think you only have to look at the terrier boys for that answer as for years there was many breeds that people worked but now they favour the black dogs 1 Quote Link to post
hullhunter 219 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) it must add something good to them as half the lurcher world cant be wrong. if the old type lurcher was good enuf then the bullx would not exist. ive not seen any other cross that can stand the sh*t a bullx dose day in day out. they are bred to do a job and in my opinion there is not an other cross that comes close to the bullx.
