hi ,its nice to see foreigners on this site,i dont think your hares are as fast as the brown hare we have over here so you should be alright, but i would go for a collie greyhound ,u get a bit bigger dog around the 23in 24in mark and will have just as much fun out of it , heated kennels or a husky cross ?, as long as your dog is fed right and looked after well and a good rub down after a days work it should be ok , all the best in your hunting.
