Wrecking crew stuff was pie lines  , pie was genuine half cross out of a bull called max to a greyhound , think there was pye and otter ( litter sister) that made anything decent 

as for max (bull) not sure on his breeding but he was tested as bulls should be 

Was pies owner from leigh or Wigan came across him once up my neck of the woods out with dog and his lad to me it seemed an even tempered dog with bags of patience it didn't try to have a go at my 2 fawn dogs as his young son tried to ride as a donkey and fell off and banged his head much to my amusement.  I think a lad from Wigan had a brindle pup out of pie  called either bully or Bob which stood about 24 inches to shoulder a lot racier than pie but with the same head . Mind you this going back  30 to 35 + years ago .

yes/no  , ok put the time in and get them social  with other dogs from young age , it all helps . Norm  not all, as you get wimpy type temps in all breeds  x bred or pure . but a pitx grey or pit x lurcher , will take bit more stick , than other dogs. its this kicking off ,  so if they got hurt a bit, they wont back down, where as most or dogs , will have enough once there been hurt a bit. my pitx greys were good temps, never  tried it on with other dogs, i could put them in motor with strange dogs and never any trouble. my colliexs  ive had and got now,  could be bit funny with other dogs  bryn ok but shove come to push would have  a go at dog, even at fookin nearly 12 year old   the prat lol. my best temp with other dogs is deff Buck my 1x gsd x grey, he dont like to fight with other dogs, infact ive had few dogs kick off on him, he just move away from them quick , and i know if did fight back with them, he make a mess of them  , if he locked on like he does wild animal ,  good job he wimp .!

My whippet x is a c@nt for starting fights with other dogs ,he was bitten by a staff couple yrs ago so he hates them ,he was sound with any dog until that ,

my last staff bull was a lovely brindle bitch ,cracking dog and great with my kids .used to take her ferreting and ratting .must be nearly 25yr ago .

my bedy grey is great with other dogs and good around the yard and coming on well .

I've only ever hunted edible game, so I never even slipped him on anything other than rabbits, hares  and deer of various sorts. And he was better than useful on stuff other than rabbits. Sounds a tad cloak and dagger, silly even, BUT, you never know who's looking in if I said he was a very good hare dog and extremely good on deer
