Mickey Finn 3,012 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 If it needs to catch rabbits. Then some type of lurcher would be your pick. I've got one coming, and am curious to see how versatile they can be. But, for best over all hunting dogs? Drahthaars, hands down. ATB Quote Link to post

welshboy454 3 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 It really depends on what you want the dog to do. I currently have two springers because they suit my needs at the moment but I have had terriers and lurchers in the past. Looking back ( maybe misty eyed) a dog I had which was a Whippet x Labrador mother crossed with an Airedale x Greyhound father was a brilliant fun dog. He would enter cover like a spaniel, flush woodcock, catch rabbits in the lamp and hated foxes with a vengeance. He would wait patiently while I dug down to the terrier facing a fox and then need I say more except I had to get out of the way quick! If I could reincarnate him I would have him even now.
