My rabbit dog coming up to 4 this year.

[Moll. 1,769]

I have seen some really good bull crosses catch good numbers of rabbits on the lamp. I would put them to a collie grey hound type.

 

This was my thought if i ever do decide to breed from him

Right here goes........If you had a bull x 'bitch' who was bred for foxes but turned out no use but was an excellent rabbiting dog then yes you could surely breed her with another rabbiting dog that had proved itself. But if you had a rabbiting 'bitch' who was great at her job surely you would not breed her with a bull x who was a decent rabbiter as there would be proper out and out rabbit dogs out there already for a Sire? Hope that makes sense....does too me..

but then how many of these so called great fox dogs throu great fox dogs and what did we have before the bull xs

well my two penneth worth is, that there are far too many folks out there that are willing to breed from dogs, an all becuase they are blinkered, why do folks feel the need to breed off a dog or a bitch that wasnt bred for the bunnys, or even breed off a dog an bitch if they know there are better out there why do folks feel the need to have a pup out of there old bitch?? why not a pup that in unrelated is it kennel blindness

 

for the record i have seen some bullx's catch bunnys, an catch them well, but are they rabbit dogs???

 

not a dig at anybody just a genuine question

i agree bullx's do catch bunnys mate, like i said some even do it well, but dont you think they are more 1 offs than anything else, do you think the rest of the family/litter could have done same job??? an more to the point would you have kept the whole family or others from line as bunny dogs??

 

i aint talking about dogs that can or could catch other stuff preban, im talking about guys who keep dogs just for bunnys

you used her for rabbits fair enough, but was she a failed dog at what she was bred for?

far from it but not all bull x are failed fox dogs and would you use bull in to get a rabbit dog yes it adds a little bit more want

Are you talking about Marley?

 

I like bull in my dogs but would never inject it from bulls that have failed at what they were bred for.
