At the moment we are dogless,my last dog was a Doberman and wasn't intended for any thing other then a pet.As regards to a lurcher I think I am looking for a combination of collie,whippet,and a bit of greyhound.Most of my shooting is spent in small paddocks for rabbits,so a small but fast would be in order.I might be wrong in my cocktail of dog perhaps you could put me right..
