What cross for woodland?

[Richie10 345]

What size and what breeding would be good for woodland?

 

Thinking a tall bullx, rather than saluki. Thinking the gameness would be needed most.

 

Would be also have to be the racy type to have explosive starts to get the better of the quarry(rabbits).

 

What's your thoughts?

 

Cheers

For rabbits i would go Whippet, fast, agile, face cover,light enough, not to do much damage to its self bumping into stuff?

something small

[Richie10 345]

Would whippets take Muntys as we have alot round here and I don't want to have any accidents. I love seeing them around.

 

 

Thanks

whippet for woodland or something small and sharp away

[Guest DogFaceKillah]

woodcock X womble first cross light clever fast and barking mad

I'd agree with the above. Nothing quick off the mark with good agility, no need for a lot of top end speed, as a really fast dog would be more likely to hit something. Maybe a collie/whippet?

[Richie10 345]

Cheers, looking at a whippet cross then.

 

Do any you guys work woodland with dogs?

 

Cheers.

on the lamp sometimes, rabbits run off some rough grass uphill towards a wood on a bank side

i have a deerhound grey x collie grey and shes some bitch in woodland , goes through woodland like shes on open land , she has learnt that when the hounds sound there is some thing in front so she runs with them all day through the winter mths she has pushed game out of the woods doing it this way on to open land and her catch rate has gone up. she has had her accidents tho but she seams to learn from them and get better every time i take her out .

nearly forgot to say shes 25" tts and weighs just short of 30kg and is very quick for her breed

You wont go wrong with a 1x collie grey, good nose,good feet,+coat. Will be quick enough for rabbits, and 1x's are tough dogs that will face any cover to get a rabbit. Every1x collie grey ive had [male's] were brill in any thick cover, that you get in woodland. Ive had them when lamping , pull rabbits out of woods and bring back to field , they are spot on rabbit dogs and can do bigger stuff as well.

some thing with a good nose, good feet and agile, beddy whippet grey maybe? or even a beddy grey?

[Guest ROUGH COATED]

Beddy whippet.

I run a deer x and a beardie x through woodland, some of it quite dense, I'd never run a whippet or whippet type through it, you need something resilient with a good coat, tough skin and brains to know when to put the brakes on.
