hi mate get yourself a pup and train it your self dont go buying some dog that is allready lamping cause 9 times out of 10 it will be be sh##t.if its just for lamping rabbits u want it for a good first cross whippet greyhound would be perfect. u should pay around 100 to 150.start with d basic trainning recall sit stay then start her off on the retriveing.when its around 11 months old bring her out with d lamp keep her on slip all d time look for a rabbit that is squatted in d middle of a field walk d pup out as close as u can 2 d rabbit get it up and leave d pup course it.give it bout 4 rabbits like dis a nite bout twice a week take it slow and it will pay off in the long run.hope this helps mate atb.

What quarry are you after? what sort of ground? you need to think about these things before deciding on the most suitable cross.

All depends where you are in Ireland, but could arrange a session out with the dogs if you like, you can see the lads running different types of working working and make ur mind up.
