lloydus 29 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi im thinking about getting a small lurcher just for rabbit to start off. I guess mostly lamp and day time bushing with a little ferreting. Im based in south Wales, i fancy a bedlington x whippet. Are these much slower than whippet? But I've read about Powell pocket rockets. He's only down the road. Would these be better? Anyway what's the best crosses for me? Cheers Quote Link to post

trigger2 3,132 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 if your doing alot of bushing i would go for the beddy X as the coats better and theres a little less chance of the skin tearing compared to a pure whippet. Quote Link to post

rocky1 942 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 persnaly i keep away from big names breeeder as they tend 2 farming puppies out rather then putting the hard work and testing their dogs imo beddy/whippets are good rabbit dogs but i go for 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy less terrier more whippet try and see the parent work aswell ,some can yapp on if not brought on correctly all the best with your search Quote Link to post
