To tell you the truth ive never really been a fan of this cross as in my mind at a time they where for one job and that was a terrier mans lurcher good round a hole but as a alround lurcher i never rated them

 

another thought that put me of this cross was most the ones i seen where poorly trained pulling there owners round the place none retrivers poor recall and so on you know the types so im my eyes i thought i would never have one about me as they would not suit my needs i like a dog that can be trained to a good standered mostly it would be used for lamping rabbits the odd day time hare and a fox or two if the chance came up

 

so how did i end up with a bull x pup thats what i want to know am i mad looking a challenge or going with the trend ? i was given the pup as i got the lad a service of a friends bull x dog who in my eyes is a great allrounder as good at lamping bunnys as he is anything eles i had all the intentions of given the pup to a suitable lad that was on the look out for such a cross i got the pup at 6 weeks and he is still here now 15 weeks i gess the little fella has grown on me

 

has my view of this cross changed all i can say is yes as for the ability of it learning basic commands its top class and as good as the collie x i had at this age at 15 weeks he sits stands lies down on command with voice or hand signals comes to whistle retrives holds objects on comand and walks to heel he has took it all in his stride he is willing to learn and please

 

so the next stage of his training will be the stay and moveing left and right with hand signalls and the one he has mastered so far only from abit more distance

ill keep you up dated on his progress or his set backs and a few pics

 

but the point of this topic is the bullx abilty as a allrounder whats your views on this and the abilty to train them to a hight standered

 

all the best and hope you all have a good season

My bull x could of been trained to a higher standard than he is no doubt about that but I'd of just been wasting my time in some areas as I don't need him to retrieve live to hand, I don't need a sit and stay.

I just need him to run catch and dispatch his quarry.

My other dog will sit stay mark up etc as I needed him to do all of that. 

Same with coursing dogs they are bewd for a job and most won't need to have commands put on them as the owner just doesn't need them

Its a sad reflection of lurchers and their ownership now when folk mention a Bullx as an allrounder.Its a reflection of the accepted standards now when a mutt will never have the capacity to do half of what an allrounder was expected to achieve,achieves what allround lurcher owner is willing to accept now.

Anything in front of it,as long as it was edible or a pest.It had to find it before it chased it,it had to be able to chase it to catch it and it had to do it well.The olde adverts in the exchange and mart where often followed by HJKC,most on here won,t understand that,what i expected was HJFFWBRB.
