steven96 2 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 At the start of the last lampin season i bought myself a collie x greyhound x whippet bitch that is 21 inches to the shoulder. She was two years old and the night i got her on trial she caught 8 rabbits in two hours from 10 runs. The Next night she caught 6 rabbits and a hare in rougly the same time. I didnt do much lamping but iv brought her ferreting and she has been very handy around the holes and caught many bolters that escaped the nets. She even marks holes! I think this has to be one of the best crosses for a running dog! Quote Link to post
banjo14 49 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) ill second that! my old girl is a collie whippet x greyhound whippet she is now 15 years old and has served me well as a lamper the odd hare ,the odd fox, ferreting and a gundog that will still retrieve from the other side of our local river (drain).she is also deaf as a post but retreives and takes commands from hand signal.my opinion the ideal all rounder. EXCELLENT DOGS. Edited May 21, 2011 by banjo14 Quote Link to post

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Had a bitch bred similar.......1/2 grey instead of whip she was a top lamper and accounted for the odd daytime hare on rough paddocks. Quote Link to post
fert 0 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 i too am a avid fan of this cross because it suits the ground that i hunt and the sort of hunting i do Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 hares in the lamp ffs Why not???? A hare in a big open field on the lamp against a lamping dog as the same chance off getting always when getting chased by a coursing dog during the day and are fare game in my eyes. Dont understand why the hare has all this rules no lamp ,no snow,one dog, but its ok to lamp rabbits and fox and deer???? Its ok to put needs over rabbit holes and putting ferret in and dogs out side where the chance off it getting away. Same goes for a fox in a dead end where is the chance off it getting away???? To much rules for hares in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to post

Off course there is lots off lamping dogs that can kill a day time hare l know that l have them but don't think a hare is that easy on the lamp there not but l know and wee all know that a hare during the day is a different animal then at night on the lamp but so is rabbit deer fox so why don't they get all the rules a hare does???? 1 Quote Link to post
