Rabbiting man 1,191 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 A whippet will do you well or a Beddie/Whippet if not a Collie/Greyhound I uses Collie/Greyhounds for all round rabbit work mate Quote Link to post
blackpack 70 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 just see the sire and dam and make sure they are grafting, then you can get a rough ideal of the size to what they grow bud, theres some bigger dogs than that, and they can catch well on small fields bud. Good luck in your choice Quote Link to post

Sorley x 32 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) waht ever x you like you.ve got 2 live with it Good advice, the dog is going to be with your for hopefully a decade or more. How good the dog will be is going deopend largely on how much time you spend training and entering it over first two years. As to the breed it can make a difference but given you want something about 21" mark that cuts a lot of options out. Good luck and all the best with your pup Edited July 12, 2011 by Sorley x Quote Link to post
