will be looking to buy a lurcher soon grey x collie,i have no experience with these type of dog yet, have 2 cockers,would i be better to get a pup and try and train myself,the downside being that i have never trained a lurcher before or get a dog that is maybe 1-2 yrs old and learn from that,thanks in advance from a total beginner.

would be wanting it for rabbits,would that type of dog be any good for hare,there are loads of them around here?

yeah i remember years ago the old man taking out the uncles afghan for fox, she hurdled 5ft gate no problem but fox got away easy enough,no stamina.

hi mate get yourself a pup and train it your self dont go buying some dog that is allready lamping cause 9 times out of 10 it will be be sh##t.if its just for lamping rabbits u want it for a good first cross whippet greyhound would be perfect. u should pay around 100 to 150.start with d basic trainning recall sit stay then start her off on the retriveing.when its around 11 months old bring her out with d lamp keep her on slip all d time look for a rabbit that is squatted in d middle of a field walk d pup out as close as u can 2 d rabbit get it up and leave d pup course it.give it bout 4 rabbit
