an all rounder

[dogs-n-natives 1,182]

it's all a lottery mate,all you can do is lower the odds by finding two good dog's that have been bred by lads who get out a lot on the sort of stuff you want to hunt,as you've probably guessed by now everyone likes different crosses on here as our great country has such different region's,mountains,fens,small fields etc,and not all types will suit that particular terrain,what do other lads in your area run?do they catch much?don't rush in is my advice,get out with a few like minded people in your hunting area and see if it suits you,lurcher's and longdog's by col ted walsh is a timeless book full of all the information anyone could want on most crosses,hope this helps,wirralman

That is a GOOD post

Try and get a lurcher to lurcher bred pup some thing like a beddy hybred crossed with a collie hybred.atb dell

 

 

Lurcher to lurcher for all rounder yes sometimes a little bit of many breed seems to do the job.but you must have a bit of collie.atb.Catcher

thanks for all this advice. yeah i totaly agree with doin my home work and not rushing in after all its with me for life .

my fields are mostly small fields with rabbits on so i need a little pocket rocket really but also a hardy dog.

my mate has bull crosses but i dont need a bull cross a nice little rabbit dog will do me fine.

[bigearboi 0]

i think the best allrounder is lyk a deerhound/greyhound collie/greyhound

I think if your new to the game you should just have a crack with what ever you like the look off most dogs entered right are going make a rabbiting dog there aint no right a wrong cross just peoples opinions good luck with what you choose!

beddyxwhippet,3/4 whippet 1/4 collie will be tough and clever and more than enough for bunnies or beddyxgrey or colliexgrey if ya want to do anything bigger and have some more stamina in some situations! atvb with whatever you buy and i hope it turns out to be the dog you are looking for!

there is only 1 all rounder imo and thats a saluki/greyhound cross collie/greyhound there fantasic they have the speed of the greyhound the brains of the collie but they have better feet and stamina with the saluki blood thrown in look at my dog

 

Yep, good x that ,everything you need in a lurcher.Its a x might get in the future

I wouldn't say that whippet crosses are injury prone. My 50/50 beddy/whippet has bounced off steel gates out on the lamp after a coney and it didn't phase him! He also jumped straight into the top bar of a gate after thinking the second one down was the top one, again didn't bother him!

so far up todate the bewt game providers ive saw are well bred saluki type bred to collie type lurcher ,very good allround dogs clever wind guts and good feet etc and will catch there game in most places had good reports of a few lits i bred and other people s dogs ive saw,maybe the modern game killing machine in the [bANNED TEXT] hands guys,i for sure havent any gripes to bear with the ones ive saw and ran
