whippet/grey first cross or 3/4 whippet grey did the trick for us on our small fields ..from what i saw on our fields when we had a lot of hares the saluki hybrids didn't really have the pace to get to the hare quick enough unless they were used mob handed ..

for me it would be this, sire would a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 whippet x pure saluki bitch.

Had a 3/4 whippet gru a few years back, very good single handed didn't like running with another dog,would hang back.

i got a 1st cross saluki grey and he is good in the big feild but i find my 5/8 whippet 1/4 greyhound 1/8 beddlington much better in the smaller fields. she got the intial burst of speed and the agaility too stay on the quarrys backside.
