So I’ve stated before I’m not really a foxing man although I’ve had decent dogs on them. I had a very good bull greyhound for a while before he was killed by a gate lamping . 

they weren’t for me although most of my pals always had one or two about them. I remember clear as day the first one I seen on a fox driving day in 1995, it was a big heavy brindle bitch , likely staff influenced and it was lovely to see at its work . The breed wasn’t really popular in Carlisle until then and this bitch was from some lads a bit older than me from over the border. 

then I started going out with some lads from out west , lol , it it weren’t bull it weren’t coming lol . My best adventure was with my own two dogs and my pals two bulls , a three quarter bred and a half cross in the lakes where we backed a big huge red stag up into a dyke corner and slipped , it kicked f**k out of all the dogs and damaged three of them badly . It was sobering lol but funny looking back as we thought we were the real deal and our dogs unbeatable ha. 
 I think like all dog men , I can admire them . 

But as I grow older I see them in different way , I have a perverse admiration for the breed , I remember laughing hearing when a well known dog named after a sports brand my pal owned developed a propensity to start latching onto horses .i can’t equate the owners who use them as a normal lurcher , as much as that’s admirable , i like a bull grey to be a bull grey , a savage Nasty mean killer , otherwise what’s the point in having one ?  

I likes a bit of bull , I like that nature , I like that strength , the build , the pluses it adds to an all round dog .
Would I have a dog with bull in ? Yes 

would I have a bull grey ? No , the ones I like are just too much dog for what I could be putting in front of it . 
 

There’s lads in here who have had and do have very good bull greys , who will , if they see fit , comment . One of them in particular has had some exceptional dogs . Lads like that are far more qualified to speak about them than I 

Good right up.and I've seen similar the few they do better than out  they excell  at.

But I wouldn't say hardy 

 And  there a nightmare sheep pigs horses any in sight or they know were they are spotted em head there if they miss lol  love the stick.

I still talk to a lot of lads who no longer come on here, they have a good laugh at some of the nonsense I see on here ! LOL !

Cheers.

Although not a lurcher lad as terriers were his thing, one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, kind and cutting lads we have not seen for a very long time was a lad called Chief ! 
You could read lads like that musings all day long and it would be time well spent.
