FUJI 16,242 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 My older bitch is 9 and has done everything I've asked she's light and 3/8 bull I have a pup out of her to razor hoping enough of her heart carries through into the pup ,if not he'll be used to his strengths . The question of whether I'd ever do with out a bull cross,well the jury is still out ,but I'd say a bit of bull has never hurt a lurcher See you down on the Fens next year if the Bull blood don't shine through haha 1 Quote Link to post
fitchet 788 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Fitchet do what I did sort out a well bred bitch and get ur dog over it . I was lucky lad loaned me a bitch I tryed her out before putting my dog over it . Now I've got a pup now to hopefully will walk in his sires footsteps atb I've thought long and hard about putting him over something and there's 2 things that put me off breeding out of my own firstly is the fact he's only about 23tts and although he does the job good enough for his size ideally I would like something abit taller and secondly is his colour. I do a lot of vermin drives for the shoot down the road and bieng buckskin coloured he's been mistaken for something else a couple of times.im not one for breeding either if I'm honest I'd like to own both parents if I did or atleast go to a stud that's proven and throws animals as good if not better than themselves. All the best with your pup mate looks a nice strong type. Edited March 2, 2015 by fitchet Quote Link to post

If the bull blood shows through I'll be made up Andy as he can certainly run a bit for a pup lol Quote Link to post
