stroller 341 Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 the irish terrier is a lovey breed game but tall, too tall really for fox around here. more biddable than the kerry blue. and th whippet is a cracking little dog. so a first cross should be an ideal rabbit dog and at twelve weeks 13" is ok it will probably end up betwen 19 and 23" jut depending on the parents. i once had a jack russell that would catch more rabbits than my lurcher she used to hammer the bunnies in cover. the irish terrier isnt a popular show breed which must count for something. train your pup well Quote Link to post
