Tyla 3,179 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Mine, jrtxwhippet 21" tts nice dog tyla ...dose he bush tyla???..do he ever yap tyla due to the terrier in him??? He bushes, ferrets and lamps well enough for me and hes never opened up on quarry. He is, however, very vocal when hes excited or anxious. Its usually in the van on the way to hunting or when hes bored, it can be annoying but there are worse faults Quote Link to post

gnipper 6,462 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Mine can catch rabbits well enough for his build and he'll tackle anything. He marked an earth for us yesterday and before I could get over the ditch he was in it . 22". I'd love to try him somewhere infested with rabbits to see how many he'd take. Quote Link to post

its ma baw 51 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 any of you guys had small dogs that made the grade for hunting rabbit???..by small i mean around the 20" mark or even smaller, any one had a lurcher around 18" that made good rabbiting dogs???...the reason i am asking is that my dog is going to be quite small and i am just wondering what small dogs are like on rabbits???..my dog is 5 months and around 17" so you think he will make a decent rabbiting dog if entered properly??? let me know if you had a small lurcher...how small?..wat was the breed? what do you think of small lurchers around 20"? thanks for reading and hopefully you could give me some advice as it is my first lurcher and need all the advice i can get atb craig I know a guy (dead now) Who used an Italian Greyhound to catch rabbits. This wee dog would jump a double barbed wire fence!!! Couldn't stand the rain in winter but for sheer determination and guts, got my vote. Size doesn't matter for rabbits mate, you'll catch rabbits with a terrior. Look how fast a rabbit runs with its little legs 1 Quote Link to post
