Aaron_butcher 17 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 im getting a new dog primarily for lamping rabbits. my mate has asked to put my saluki greyhound over his beddy whippet greyhound, well that do the job well or am i better off just buying in a beddy whippet or collie grey.

sambam 8 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 sounds like a handy cross mate should be spot on for lampin rabbits and if the ban ever got lifted you have a dog capable of taking other game too, just my opinion 2 Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 more than capeable of doing the job Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Its only my opinion baised on seeing some lurchers bred simular and i would not esitate on getting a pup out of such a mateing more than i would out of the other two crosses you have mentioned. 1 Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 i would try one of those pups butt if you dnt wont one of those look a round for a good beddy whippet gh i think they make one of the best rabbit dogs if you get the right one ther are fast ones and slow ones i would all ways go the fast rout with brains one bend then the dog is back on the chase in a instant i had one a very long time a go he was grate on big rabbits as well as teeth Quote Link to post

Aaron_butcher 17 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 yer i did mate but as i said ive been umming and arring. the main reason ive not been sure is my saluki is a fairly big dog and can have trouble getting down to rabbits at times and i want a dog soley for rabbits so didnt want to end up with another big dog.

Aaron_butcher 17 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Your 1st thoughts should be, can i find home for the pups my mates having 2, im having 1, his mum wants 1 and another lad he knows wants 2 so we arent short of homes. im not daft. Quote Link to post

Aaron_butcher 17 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 how old was they when you had an idea of which had taken to the sire and which to the dam? Quote Link to post
Richie10 345 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Use your Saluki grey, otherwise it's 2 dogs trying to find work for and keep fit and train. The s/g will take them fine on the lamp. Quote Link to post
