trigger2 3,137 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 i was just wondering is there a certain point in height in a lurcher when you dont gain any more benefits. e.g speed/pace turning ability in a running dog?. is there a maximum height when if you go any bigger all you gain is weight and nothing else.

Guest born to run1083 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Being honest I recon between 23-26tts is ideal for the optimal package but size can have a benefit to tackle larger quarry, great topic tho be good to hear some posts Edited June 21, 2011 by born to run1083 Quote Link to post

Maddog1986 7 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I think 26 is sufficient for rabbits and if you live in Ireland would easily take a fox atb Quote Link to post
ferret-boy 44 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Between 21"- 25" is ideal for me. Quote Link to post
