sandymere 8,263 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Depends what sort of ground, I'd go for a nippy whippty type for fast land such as golf courses and a larger more robust type for rougher land, perhaps along the lines of a 3/4 grey 1/4 beddy or collie. Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Simon, there is a post asking this question about every 3 days on here, not that your wrong in asking but if you trawl back through the lurcher posts, you'll see 'em, with many differing answers. It's worth a read. Gather all the info you can and make an informed choice. As for my two penneth worth, first off, don't be too hasty, don't jump at the first thing you see, do your homework... Look to parents of average size 22"-24", that are well worked, make sure the parents are of racy type and you won't go far wrong. Best of luck. Quote Link to post
Lamping89 22 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well I have a whippet she is fast and is killing well he has seen her run a few times but he was looking for some thing a bit bigger built and would be the odd grass field but more cropped fields thanks Quote Link to post

Pretty much any small type lurcher will catch rabbits on the lamp. What type you got mate Quote Link to post
Lamping89 22 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 If I'm to be completely honest pal all I no is she a whippet cross but what with is any one guess put a photo In my gallery have a look if you like Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Ok mate, some of the best rabbit catchers are lurcher to lurcher. Your best bets finding someone local you can trust and getting advice about any pups coming up. I like my collie crosses, versatile animals. 1 Quote Link to post
fitchet 788 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Most crosses or types can knock over the odd lamped rabbit mate. Ive even seen a terrier catch on the lamp lol. The only way to get them good is to work your dog hard and enjoy it. Atb Quote Link to post
