Guest bezza Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 When I first started out out with lurchers a dog was valued for its pot filling abilities. A dog that could take the full spectrum of fur and feather was considered the ultimate working companion. Nowadays the ultimate lurcher is seen as the most macho looking bullcross that can soak up punishment and slaughter foxes night after night and never get sickened. The old quotation: "The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable."comes to mind. We've lost our way a little. Give me a dog that can put meat on the table rather than a fighting dog/ running dog hybrid anytime. Personally I'm sick to death of 16 year old morons posting sicko photos of their fox catches with dogs that would be better served hunting lions or some other larger game. The bull cross has done nothing for the general lurcher owner other than give us a bad name. Discuss. PS. Insult me as much as you like but don't call me an anti, that is below the belt.

Youve really landed yourself in it with this topic. Your bacically after saying that a lot of people and I mean A LOT on this site arent real hunters ?????? There are a lot of bull x owners on here and im sure theyl have something to say to this. Oh and dont get me wrong, plenty will agree with you but will remain silent. Quote Link to post
labsnlurchers 39 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Its some of the idiots that own them that give us a bad name, not the dog, and its not just bull crosses. Tarring everyone with the same brush is something that the antis do, because some jumped up yobbo is posting pics of smashed up dogs with ripped to bits foxes or a cute little fawn with the dog next to it towering over it (there was one similar on here recently)they think that is the mentality of all hunters. 1 Quote Link to post

Guest bezza Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Spot on countryboyo. I think a lot of bull cross owners have masculinity hang ups and use their dogs to make up for their own inadequacies. What the feck is the point of destroying a fox for no other purpose than posing with its carcass with the sort of dog more at home in a fighting pit? Get a life bull cross owners and become genuine field sportsmen. Quote Link to post

undisputed 1,664 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 i agree totally with Labsnlurchers its not the dogs thats the prob its some of the feckin owners! There was a spate of newspaper articles about dead deer in some of the local papers, these morons were killing the deer and leaving the carcass hanging from a tree or in the middle of fields....Idiots the lot of them Quote Link to post
lucky 578 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 we all love a pot filler, this bit of meat was taken single handed (well before the ban) with one of those dogs that has added nothing to lurchers, a bull cross.... Quote Link to post

Get a life bull cross owners and become genuine field sportsmen. Man i wouldnt say that all bull x owners have dogs for this reason. I wouldnt go taring them all with the same brush, there are plenty of genuine dog men with bull xs. I personally dont see why anyone would want more than 1/4bull in a lurcher???? maybe someone could enlighten me??? As for having a dog that is 3/4 bull, then I think these lads are attention seekers.
