hi, im new to all this iv always wanted a dog i could work and finally think iv got one, hes a mix of jack russel and whippet hes extreamly quick for his size. Recently hes been chasing everything he can squirels are his favourite at the moment. when chasing them he gains on them all the time its just they can climb trees and get away. i would love him to be able to have a go at rabbits as i feel he is quick enough and i love watching him work, i just need some advice or any ideas thanks hope i hear from someone soon. il try and add some photos of him soon.
