Kemperz21 65 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I would one day like another bull cross but have not been in the game long enough to know what percentage crosses are best I've read that some crosses throw back to one side or another just don't want to end up with a really bull heavy lurcher I was lucky with my dog out of 6 pups I've seen pics of atleast 3 are heavy the other 3 mine included are quite racy little dogs I'm considering maybe a bull x grey or a bull /whippet/grey any suggestions greatly appreciated Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have gone something similar to what you have suggested beddy whippet GH x bull GH slim them down a bit and ad more pace Quote Link to post
NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 3/4 Grey 1/4 Bull should do the job. More x's in the mix more variety Imo. 1 Quote Link to post
tb25 4,627 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 be careful of the added whippet..you may end up with a dwarf like mine lol 1 Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Go for a line bred bull cross that are throwing similar stuff to what you wantthen don't do what a lot do and pick the biggest lump in the litter ,pick an average long backed one,also consider the work you want from it,best advice is take your time get to know lads with decent stuff,get your name down,even if it's a couple of years away,it'll be worth the wait 2 Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 A litter will come up,although maybe not in your area,I like 3/8 bull but there will be differences no matter what My 3/8 isn't heavy although some are. All depends on what you class as heavy. Just put Tue word out on here see what comes up Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Having said that,why not go for a lurcher with a bit of bull in it ? I've just bred a litter to my Bitch With a coursing dog ,look for a 1/2 cross to a coursing dog or similar Quote Link to post
