Need a dog for general pest control

[sjb york 1]

Aye up all.

 

I'm after a dog for general pest control. (I work in pest control for a career and a hobby) and I want a ratter and a rabbit marker. I'm not a terrier fan really so I thought about a whippet bedlington.?I prefer the rough haired look to smooth haired. Any thoughts on what dog to get?

 

Iv had labs before but am completely new to lurchers so please forgive my ignorance.

 

 

Thanks and have a very merry Christmas.

Beddy/whippet, pure whippet or collie whippet will be ideal for that

Beddy x whippet or whippet x Beddy makes no difference, i would also go for the three quarter.

I know the beddy whippet would be a good choice theirs also the odd litter of whirriers been bred by lads for bushing and srounging dogs.My mate bred a litter of springer x whippets just for bushing and the bitch he kept back is showing lots of promise.

The one my mate kept back hes very impressed for a not quite 6 month old and says it hunts light cover well and has unbelievable energy and go for a young dog a three hour mooch about and the dog is still full of energy [bANNED TEXT] it gets home.I am hopeing to get out with him over the christmas holidays with her and will post you some pics.atb dell

Yh i would recommend a whippet, small agile and very game. Mine loves anything from rabbits, to phesants, good nose for ratting and squirells aswell. A good small companion when out in the field!
