Dog for lamping rabbits suggestions

[EnglishBulldog 14]

Ok i was wondering what would be the best cross for solely lamping rabbits.

[jamesmc 582]

collie/grey/whip

iv got a saluki/grey/whippet he seems to do the job well enough great all rounder

most xs can catch rabbits , the most important thing i think is to get it fit and to show it plenty of rabbits the more you show it the better it will get , yes some xs will be better than others but they will all do it, for me something like colliewhippet x grey would do nicely

If its only rabbits. Id get a little 22/23'' collie cur type lurcher/lurcher type

 

 

Out of parents that had plenty of early pace and good mouths on them and done it season in season out for a good few yr

as has allready been said most crosses will catch rabbits on the lamp. the ground you hunt on will sometimes play a part in which dog is best suited. some places you need a fast dog other places steady plodders will do just fine.

iv got two saluki/whippet x whippet/grey, they are both brilliant all rounders but definitely excel on rabbits.

Imo abeddy whippet x or saluki x or tbh as has been said any lurcher will excell in lamping once it has been trained and handled right

colliexgrey x saluki x grey, nice bitch about 24in would run all night in the lamp, and be ok in the day for rabbits

A dog that you like the look and temperament of, obviously not a 3/4 bull 1/4 grey or something heavy like that but as long as its reasonably quick it will catch rabbits. It's all well and good people suggesting different crosses for you but if their suggest big smooth dogs and you like little rough ones or vice versa you'd never be entirely happy with what you purchase, its you that's gotta look at it and care for it at the end of the day.

For myself would be something mostly whippet mate, but as said depends what u like the look of,lol atb shaun

hourses for courses...

depends on what land your running on, ive seen first cross collie greyhounds catch plenty on the fells and rough ground but couldnt get near my golf course rabbits

[EnglishBulldog 14]

The land i run on would be mainly flat open land. If this help. Also thank for all the suggestions so far lads

If you're running the dog on mostly open fields with short grass then the rabbits will go fcuk on that type of ground. I'm by no means a expert but i would say that you will need something with a burst of speed to put a turn in quick and be able to turn quick itself so mostly Whippet with its burst of speed with a bit of Beddy for heart and drive....3/4 Whippet 1/4 Beddy or 1/2 Whippet, 1/4 Grew, 1/4 Beddy standing around 21"-23"tts
