Quick question about dogs height

[bullmastiff 615]

Been looking at a 4 yr old 28" BullxGrey, he looks very racey (almost like a pure Grey) He is an exworker that got in a scrap with the guys terriers or something, so got handed into a rescue.[

Is this too big for bunnies?

I'm pretty much just a pot hunter, Running on a Friday night from the back of the pickup and a Sunday on my own. Running whatever happens to lift in front of me. I don't get many runs round here so don't need loads of Stamina but like the dog to be able to pick up what's there. Roo was 25" but bulkier with it and could sometimes struggle with Rabbits on the turn.

Will this one be the same?

 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

aggresion towards another smaller dog dont mean feck all as far as taking quarry goes.

If you have 8 inchs its possible to only use 6 but if you have only 6 inchs its impossible to use 8 inchs

quite a few lurchers have a dislike of terriers and also pups, i had one once, the one i have now is fine

nice looking dog been in the wars abit? in apperance he favours the grey more than the bull

[bird 9,940]

to be honest mate, you could get the same prob with agility as your last bullx.? We all know big dogs catch rabbits, all my dogs have and most were 25in to 27in. But really why go for a dog 28in when a dog 23-25in would make a be a more agile dog for any quarry, if you really like the dog, thats all that matters.?

Not being funny but i would be more concernd about the dogs temprement than his size i know you mean well by takeing the dog on but he might prove to be a bit of an head ache if hes touchy with other dogs.atb dell
