wezza 396 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Cherrs mate, I work offshore on the rigs doing a 2 week on 3 week off rotation so when I'm home we are out day and night through out season. During summer were out putting the miles in on the road/mooching, I try to cram as much as I can in with them when I'm home, my mrs and my old fella don't do a bad job when I'm away either so can't complain 2 Quote Link to post

whitefeet4190 1,724 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I've got a 1\4 bull 3\4 grey wished I went for and half cross. Why mate ? Quote Link to post
bird 9,628 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I know what your saying robyo they can throw all different ways but generally you would hope with crossing a greyhound to say a 1/2 cross bull grey you will get a 'racier' type of animal rather than say crossing a half cross to a half cross etc... Agreed mate but ,if I doubt I would use a pure greyhound,over a 1/2 cross I'd probably use a lurcher,too much to lose,only speed to gain, But I see what you are saying What I mean is don't think too much about the% genetics don't work like that,just because it's a 1/4 don't mean it will be racist or less or more game or faster,don't work like that unfortunately true that, having had straight 1/4 bull and 3/8 bull's back to greys, I think the3/8 bull prob the the better of the 2 , for wind and guts. Not saying 1/4 are no good, as they are, but ever time you dilute the bull to any running dog you going to loose wind+guts , you carnt help it it just genes will work like that. That's why some lads go back to a lurcher salxs etc to try keep stamina , if you want a faster type bullx. But I have seen some fast 1x bullx greys,and 2nd gen 1xs bullxs that were very good , don't know if the stamina would be much better as it only back to a greyhound anyway. But if you want to keep the guts of the bull deff a 1x is the way to go, being 4/8s it got to kick in some were in there. Quote Link to post

And plenty of dogs with only a 1/4 bull have loads more "guts" I think what else is in there will have a bearing. As the lad isn't just talking 3/4 grey 1/4 bull. He's talking about lurchers with 1/4 bull. And as you know you can get some very gutsy dogs without using bull. 2 Quote Link to post
