rob190364 2,594 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'm trying to work out what the best dogs for rabbiting are. Searching on the internet it always says the beagle is the number one choice but I'm not convinced purely because I don't think they'd be fast enough. I basically want 2 dogs that would be good for driving rabbits from brambles/undergrowth and quick enough to catch them in the open when my ferrets bolt them from the warren. Having done loads of research I was thinking along the lines of a bedlington terrier combined with either an irish terrer or a lakeland terrier....or possibly a bedlington and a whippet lurcher. Does anyone have any advice? Quote Link to post
