MR POACH 2 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 . so what should i go for the bull,or the collie cross ????. whats your thoughts on them,before i make my mind up. ASK YOUR SELF WHAT IS THE MAIN QUARRY YOULL BE HUNTING , THEN IF YOU GET THE CHANCE , GO AND WATCH AS MANY DIFFERENT DOGS PERFORM THAT TASK AS POSSIBLE, ........ YOU MAY DECIDE YOU WANT TO TRY A BIT OF EVERYTHING , WICH STARTS OFF THE EVER POPULAR ARGUEMENT WHAT IS THE TRUE ALLROUNDER, BUT SOME DOGS OR CERTAIN CROSSES MAY ONLY BE SUITABLE AT THE TASK THEY WERE BRED FOR. PICKING A DOG ISNT ABOUT FASHION, ITS ABOUT CHOOSING A DOG FOR A JOB, ..... TAKE THE TIME OUT TO WATCH AS MANY DOGS AS YOU CAN AND MAKE YOUR DECISION ACCORDINGLY, BECAUSE IF YOU GET IT WRONG , IT MAY LEAD TO A DOG GETTING PASSED AROUND THROUGH NO FAULT OF ITS OWN, AND YOU HAVING TO START ALL OVER AGAIN . GOOD LUCK IN WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE , HAPPY HUNTING !! Quote Link to post
dai dogs 2,141 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) the difference between the bull and the collie cross is that the collie likes to please its owner the bull likes to please itself. i like both crosses iv got a litter here at the moment of bull xs. im planning of breeding a litter of collie x. also you seem to get a more faithfull dog from the collie x.

Guest oldskool Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 i've had 2 collie crosses and to be honest they were very biddable and loyal but the wee bull cross bitch i'm training at the minute seems to match them... well, so far anyway Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 615 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'd imagine that the collie would bring more brains to the mix than a Bull x but the bull cross would be more aggressive on quarry than a collie x? JMO As the Bull x is apparently fashionable at the moment there's probably more sh*t being breed at the moment though? Quote Link to post
