its a tuff call as to what breed/type lurcher you want and its size. generaly for general mooching lamping etc its collies grey hounds whippets and stuff for couring then you talking saluki, borzoi,greyhound crosses ect for a all round rabbiting dog somthing that will be around 23-25inches is ideal but its all personal choice and what you want to do with it. a more exsperienced dog worker/breeder or what ever will be able to give you better info
