ban is just a word 43 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 most crosses will do what you want them too do its all too do with the up bringing, a mate of mines a a 3/4 collie greyhound hancocks bred that will hit foxes but once its took a belt back off one she lays off them wheres another freinds from hancocks collie x's does foxes single handedly, i do agree with most of the previous posts you want something with abit of brains, the collie x thrives on being givn commands too follow! the whippet/greyhound is another good choice, and the bedlington/whippet which was originally bred for foxes etc but also exceed too be very succesful on rabbits but i my oppinion lack in top end speed, i have a bedlington/whipppet bitch two year old and a saluki/whippet/collie/greyhound x deerhound/greyhound whom i hae very high hopes about, atb with your choice of first lurcher but do take in mind that you will have her for a very long time.

jedandlevo 8 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) hi all can any body tell me what dog to get? am after a all rounder for lamping and ferreting? it will be my first dog so could do with sum advice thanks. a whippet x greyhound and i might just have that for you am after a bitch? need to finish building kennel yet tho will they take foxes? do you mean could it have taken fox pre ban :thumbs: Yes, easily catch them and hold them down but not really got the weight behind it to finish it off, thats why we've put a 26" dog over her - hoping to get something a little bit bigger than our bitch with the pup we've kept back. They are full of heart though, loyal and good to train. . Have a friend with a litter of pups but they are bull x's. The fields are pretty small round us so this small, fast type of dog is brilliant for turning prey back into the middle of fields, very quick of the mark and will run a mile for a mouse if you put the lamp in that direction!Would recommend this cross. my mates got a whippet greyhound and it smashes fox its a bitch and its 25 tts or yeh pre ban of course Edited December 23, 2010 by jedandlevo Quote Link to post
