TJ91 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Anyone heard of a cross along these lines? Any ideas if it would make a half decent ferreting dog? Been offered a 3month old due to owner losing job and new landlord not allowing pets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I owned a 1/4 cross staffy/greyhound some years ago but he suffered badly with his feet because he was stocky and everytime we took him out lamping for rabbits his nail beds used to play up. The first thing he ever killed was a muntjac, by accident when he was 8 months old :blink: but he was too heavy for anything small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen many with staff in, that was why I asked, I don't know anything of the American thing but assumed it was somewhere near staffs type. And that's the sort of advice I am after..from someone who has owned a dog...so thankyou for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris o Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Not worth it pal if you want a running dock your best with a whippet or greyhound cross. Mixing the fighting breeds in is asking for trouble if you get cought with it causing a fox or a deer your in huge trouble. Only ever had 1 running dog a whippet bitch called candy and I did rabbits and hares with her before the hunting with dogs act came in and ran her with saluki crosses and she was quicker and more agile then most running dogs.

spinny Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 the american bulldog is a catch dog not a fighting dog if the bulldog is out of working lines like the ole scot/sandvally lines witch can work i wouldnt av a problem with the pup if its the johnson type that wouldnt be my cup of tea...... ive worked the scot/sandvalley bulldogs for 10 years very clever animals head full of sense but i be the first to say get a purpuse breed dog for the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 IMO the collie crosses are hard to better for ferreting or an work were you need a degree of biddability. Bedlington x can be awesome but I fear hard mouth in any terrier base cross. I find all bull cross dis tasteful at best and criminal at worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
