I run a half x as you no and and he's has a lot to offer in the tasks I ask of him and dose the job to a high standered . Also I have a 5/8s 3/8s and he also dose everything I ask of him this is a pic

Okay for starters, as someone who gets less opportunity to get out lamping than others - I need 2 dogs. I work nights so when that night off work crops up - I AM GOING OUT. So I need 2 dogs to guarant

Halfx for vermin. You want to run fast stuff then outcross to a decent coursing type. Hardly rocket science. Tbh folk get too hung up percentages and end up breeding for looks instead of workability.

Everyone to there own if somebody wants 2 3 4 5 dogs what's it matter if he isn't getting out enough I'm sure the dogs are well looked after . I've 3 on but only run 1 at a time don't take them both out under lamp together atb with this

Having more than one dog can raise problems especially when training a pup, dogs become jealous and such. I wouldn't advise it unless you can take them out separately until they are old enough and wise enough.

true that :thumbs: suppose its having enough game to go at as well, with 1 dog never mind 2-3 .But sometimes you hear of good lurcher line doing the business season after season, and a litter on the floor . you think these don't come round that often , so you really think about having one . maybe you shouldn't but you only pass this way once, so you give it a go.But even if you not getting enough game for them at least you+ dogs are getting fitter out looking for it .lol

I disagree with this... If you have a well trained adult dog doing everything you want half your work is done bringing on a pup

I don't agree with that.... Well trained dogs can easily become a nuisance especially after a chase and a catch, my old Collie cross was pretty well trained until out with other dogs. Jealousy got the better of it when out hunting, nothing worse than seeing a dog running all over the place with its catch getting chased by another dog. Edited by DogFox123

No one is saying "gaffer can't have x amount of dogs" gaz and as you say that's no one's business but if you ask stuff on here you are bound to have opinions aired , and you can't make some one Stay on topic if you err yourself .

find 2 bull x's doing the kind of work, to your desired standard, on the type of land you run. And assuming they are a dog and bitch breed 'em. it's not rocket science. All them fractions just blind folk to how good a dog or isn't, before they have seen it graft

Me personally being a moocher I enjoy watching dogs work seen me doing 2 dogs working reed beds and bracken and having another on the slip sorry nothing to do with bull crosses just justifying having more than one dog

I personally like a bull cross to be able to catch most things

And have heart to see the job done

That should be the standard you judge a dog by,not what breeds or % of breeds are in there ,

So gaffer,to answer your thread ,the correct % of bull in a bull cross is the dog that is in front of you doing the business,if that's a 1/2 then it's a 1/2. Simple
