Title: Breeding my own version of the Bullarab. Post by: Boondock Saints Kennels on January 22, 2013, 09:39:35 pm I am thinking about breeding my Stag/Game bred Pit male to a Bird/Bull of my own breeding, not done yet. I think that the Aussie's had the right Idea, but they should have used game bred pit's and Stag's instead of Bull terriers and Greyhounds. I am also considering adding some Plott blood into the mix, maybe the Stag/Pit to a Plott, then to the Bird/Bull, What do you all think?.

Title: Re: Breeding my own version of the Bullarab. Post by: Boondock Saints Kennels on January 22, 2013, 11:18:56 pm Good point, but they would be only 1/4 Elhew Pointer. I think Plott's have good traits that would be an asset and would give the final result a better nose, and they would still be silent!.

Like them but lost some size breeding to a smaller pit. Goinf to take the best of the 4 I have and breed to something a hair larger but dont know what yet want 75 avg pound dogs

Post by: sparkydog on January 23, 2013, 07:30:08 pm I believe anything u cross with a bird dog will turn out good the bird dog has the strongest nose than any other dog but they are not bred for staying with something they are ambush dogs I have a gsp and she hunts hard she found her own hog on her third hunt then she come in heat and havn't got to hunt her after that ive talked to a lot of people that has crossed gsp's and all of them love them they crossed them with Catahoula's, cur's, hounds, bull dogs and some reason was to put more nose into there dogs or just for the energy like my dogs if we hunt them 3 to 4 days straight they are worn out but my pointer 100mph nothing gets her down high spirited could probably run her a 100 miles a day and she will still be ready to go another 100miles I bred a plot to my gsp ill post how they turn out if she has any im expecting long rang high energy hunters but we'll see.
