firemansam 0 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi I am a whippet men through and through. I have 4 that I race very sucessfully. I would love a dog for lamping. What would you guys suggest as the best for rabbits, I dont want anything too big as my whippets are small 20" tts. so I want something ideally 21" or under. cheers for any advice. Quote Link to post

firemansam 0 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 yes I race at hoe, rabbitting isnt great for race dogs, they pick up too many injuries, and it ruins them for racing. Some dogs dont want to chace a dirty rag when they hve tasted bunny! Quote Link to post
