shaaark 10,289 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 that's him there Nice terrier . I'm not saying that ALL bull x's are the same, as they're obviously not. And I don't mean some of the really athletic type pit/staff x greyhounds either. Also some lurchers with a bit of bull in are cracking dogs. But I just don't see the point in them, just bull/grey. Although I will admit many of them look impressive. Just my opinion Quote Link to post
downsouth 6,860 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 One of the best fox catching lurchers I've witnessed was a genuine first cross named rumour who was a half brother to the well known first cross Punch who was no slouch on the foxes either.I saw the dog find and catch 3 daytime foxes at 10 yrs old.But then again they were bred from proper bred bulldogs unlike a lot of these modern day bull crosses that are being bred out of big stupid mungrel bred bull types that's why they're producing plodding great useless things that couldn't catch a fox in a phone box. 6 Quote Link to post

The old dog I have now is over 10 yr old and still does 2 nights a week. He s slowing up on daytime stuff but it's to be expected. I put him to a pure bull and kept a bitch who a keeper has on a big estate. Handy bitch about 23" game as a pebble. We mated her at about 5 yr old to a big rangey well known dog. The pups were a picture but they finished big plodders like u mentioned. Straight line quick enough but no turn . Then when they hit stuff they were big enough to carry it about. And very hit and miss with stock. They brought nothing extra to the table than the little half crosses we were running. Quote Link to post
