Day dogs or lampin dogs?

[Dan Edwards 1,134]

Sorry, I re-read it and seems you want both.

[Dan Edwards 1,134]

Try gettin you a pup out of a long line of day dogs bred to a long line of lampin dogs.

f**k NO! That aint askin shit from a dog if you ask me.

[Daveo 61]

You probably are asking a bit much mate really.

Especially considering you want a smallish dog.

What about the classic allrounder the collie cross? or perhaps 3/4 grey bred collie cross?

[poacher3161 1,766]

Try and find a good well bred litter of lurcher to lurcher bred pups and pick a small bitch.

[Chid 6,617]

why not get a 3/4 grey 1/4 whippet???

will lamp

will ferret

and should have enough pace to catch long ears ,will not catch as much as a coursing dog but should do good enough ..
