Comment to U.S. Bull Arabs
  • [quote=Tonedog]Yeah from what I gather about bullgreys they shouldn't really be considered "bullterrier x greyhound" anymore than dogo argentinos should be considered "cordoba fighting dog x dogue de bordeaux x etc". If you just cross a bullterrier with a greyhound you won't end up with one of these dogs, it will only be a little over half the size for starters. They're really their own unrecognised breed. It's not so much the bullterrier/greyhound cross which made them, more the thirty years of breeding for boarhunting performance. (correct me if I'm wrong frosti) [/quote] you are spot on tone dog .some people have tried to cross a bullterrier with a greyhound and they come out nothing like they expect. its a long road to get them to look anything like these dogs do now. another hurdle to doing this is finding an english bull terrier that could be compared to the ones that were used in this line 30yrs ago. im not sure if they still exist . i dont like them getting to big because they start to loose the running style dog build and start looking like a big muscle dog :roll: they dont move as easy . the ones i like are perfect build for handling pigs and they just dont need the extra size to do this. the bigger dogs can knock up quicker in the heat .
