baldockbanks courser 598 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I had a reasonable small lurcher that took double figures on the lamp once myself. little dogs struggle on the lamp they lack speed for long slips and stamina. mine are not giants at all 23-24, but a noveltie 18 inch bedlington whippet wont be a patch on a 23 - 24 - 25 inch lurcher. I cant see why given the chance you wouldnt use a bigger lurcher, Im not knocking people but id be sick if a pup came up 19 that I wanted for lamping, at the end of the day thed fit in the same kennel and its not as if its the cost of food as your talking pennys. I think the lamping pics of little dogs showing off a small handful of rabbits caught and an odd hare like its an echeivement speaks volumes. if I caught that amount id be disappointed at the dogs work, not get the camera out.
