wuyang 513 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hi all, new to the forum, thought i would ask what has been your favourite breed of lurcher or other for hunting up rabbit? Although not a lurcher the best dog i have owned for hunting up was a little rescued border collie bitch, she took to hunting rabbit up instantly and was a plesure to watch. I currently work a half cross border collie greyhound who is a good worker but not as good at hunting up as the beardie/border greyhound i owned who past away at he good old age of 15.

BEARINATOR 2,869 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Deer/grey x collie/grey in the kennel for me but I like my deer/greys for helping out, my first hunting dog was a staff/lab and she showed a good lurcher how to go on:icon_redface: Quote Link to post
Neal 1,869 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) The best, and most prolific, working dog I've ever had is my current oldest kelpie, that's the old fart to the left in my avatar. However, if I had to pick my favourite lurcher it would either be my last one, kelpie/collie x greyhound or a 3/4 collie 1/4 greyhound I owned in the early 90s.

ian 1 36 Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 you dont need a big dog for rabbits and it depends on how many runs and ground that you run but saluki whippet greyhound will do the job and will always run bigger stuff if needed Quote Link to post
