Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Well joey, I use a wheatanx, brillent on rabbits and she can rough it up with charlie anytime Quote Link to post
bigkiel 7 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 i like a collie cross Quote Link to post
noddy10 411 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 saluki x grey / bull x grey for me every time Quote Link to post
fensaluki 35 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Each to their own mate and its horses for courses but in my opinion you would struggle to beat a good old fashion collie x greyhound for your first running dog. They have a fairly level head as a rule and a good one will deal with most quarry if you want it to. ATB Quote Link to post
fordie 8 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Collie x for me all the way but does it matter what cross it is as long that you are happy with it Quote Link to post
joey87 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 i was thinking of getting something like a deerhound greyhound collie cross or a saluki greyhound bull only a tiny bit bull tho but i wondered if this would hinder the speed and turning wanted really for charlie bunny and you know the other 1 not the black and white joey Quote Link to post
Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Have to agree with fensuluki, ya cant beat a colliehoundx, I use one for the bunnies, she wont touch charlie, hence the wheatanx. Quote Link to post

the lamping ferreter 160 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 you want a salukie whippet bull greyhound got stamina gameness speed you dont want a dog 2 smart for foxes becouse they learn that they hurt so wont go near them again but the bull makes it as soon as it gets bit its first reaction is 2 kill and wont stop and it will catch you rabbits easy and also catch long ears its the perfict dog Quote Link to post
