Hi guys and girls I am new on here and I would very much like your help and advice, I am getting a new pup in the summer, getting married in Mexico in may otherwise it would be sooner. Anyway I am wanting a lurcher of some kind, I would like a rough coated dog, i really like the look of beddy whippets but a like bigger dogs, it will be used for a bit of lamping and ferriting but mostly for getting out for a walk and catching the odd bunny and hopefully a bit of feathered game, any information pictures and advice would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

If you whant a bigger dog go beddy greyhound but atb with the pup

Collie grey X Beddy grey..or Collie Grey X Deerhound Grey will give you a chance of a decent sized rough coated lurcher..

Do bearded collies crosses make good lurchers?

Had a beddie grey collie grey..nice little bunnie dog ..also had the colie grey deerhound grey put to a saluki grey also a good dog..you wont go far wrong with a decent X of any of them type's imo just try a steer away from any whippet in the make up if you dont want a smallish dog..

As already said a beddy grey would be my choice all the best

Thanks, suppose its down the handler in a lot of ways to how the pup turns out, is there any cross better than others at finding there own quarry if you no what I mean rather than been bolted by the ferrets or lamped? Sorry if i sound stupid or dont make sense? Just want to get the right dog for what I want.

good beddy crosses do well as daytime hunting up/mooching lurchers.

Thanks guys, what would a beddy grey be like to train, Av trained a few gun dogs, what is this cross like in the brain department?
