There is no way in hell you are askin too much. You are just wantin a dog to fool around with. That's not even close to askin too much.

 

chears mate, what dog would you get if you was me?

The lad himself is not asking too much by wanting a decent dog but... I think he is asking too much of one dog to be any good at three very different disciplines.

Sure you can get good lamping and ferreting dogs and good lamping and daytime dogs but a good lamping, ferreting and daytime dog??? one step too far old bean.

Im sure they exist but i think what you'll end up with is either

a dog that ferrets well but gets laughed at by hares or a dog that bowls them over but gets bored and wonders off when its supposed to be watching nets.

Its just my opinion

What you can have is a dog that ferrets well, lamps well, and occasionally bowls over a longears if allowed to hunt and run them from a "kickup". The dog you've already mentioned ( quarter beardie threequarter greyhound) will do all this if entered properly. It won't be a top coursing dog and may sometimes be made to look daft by a hare but it'll catch some too. Before moving to Ireland I lived in Lincolnshire and ran a half cross border greyhound which sometimes caught hares, even on the fens. He'd have looked stupid running against proper coursing dogs with a proper long slip but he was great fun to own and kept the pot filled. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I wasnt tryin to imply that a dog would be the best at all three or any of them actually. But askin a dog to catch a rabbit and a hare sure aint askin much of it in my opinion.

i thought i was asking to much from 1 dog lol, well i serpose it dosnt have to be a ferriter i have got a beddy whippet for that, but would like it to lamp bunnys, and the odd long ear if 1 pops up while owt mooching as they sometimes do.

thanks andy

Its not asking for to mutch Dan and most well bred lurchers usualy a mix of lamping types to coursing types can produce dogs that catch both.

I agree with you but... its not just about catching hares and rabbits.

The lads talking about catching them in specific ways i.e lamping ferreting and daytime.

Iv had daytime dogs that made passable ferreters and good ferreting dogs that could give a hare a good run.

Can you imagine a heavily Saluki blooded dog sitting maybe 30-45 mins waiting for a rabbit to bolt?

The lad has answered the question for himself.

He already has a bedlington whippet so thats the ferreting side taken care of

As poacher3161 Said, (who also seems to be missing the point ) any well bred lurcher should be able to lamp and work daytime.

Good day gentlemen.

a mate of mine is thinking about putting his 1st cross collie grey other a 1st cross saluki grey, his dog is a verry good lamping dog and been told that the saluki grey is a verry good long ear dog, do you think 1 of these would suit my needs?

 

thanks andy.

I cant imagine anything waitin that long on a rabbit. I'd be in the tavern slappin fat girls on the ass before the sumbitch come out of the hole.

[moonlighter 1,163]

i would go for a good coursing bred saluki lurcher. they are great on the long ears, and are far from one trick ponys. mine courses, ferrets, lamps, hunts up in the dales and are pretty handy dogs in general. if you go for a bitch it might keep the size down a tad.

[beddylurcher 70]

what do people think of 3/4 beddy grayhounds? would they do the job or not the right dog for me?

 

thanks andy
