most any dog will work on the lamp. and the majority of dogs will learn ferretting to some degree, although those with loads of sighthound can sometimes lack the patience to become first class. a first cross collie grey would be ideal, but they can be a bit intense if you havent been around running dogs before so i would suggest you look for something a bit more diluted, say collie grey x beddy grey for example.

Whippet will suit lamping for a newbie, know what your getting and little wastage.

the only thing i can say is if all youve done is ferreting is ...

when you get into lurchers is a whole new world is going to open to you

so...

a lurcher is going to be working with you for about 10 yrs

so ..

dont think about what you need now . also think what your going to be running 5 yrs from now

 

good luck and take the advice from better people than me .. atb bob

Most dogs can catch a few bunnies or work with ferrets. Nowt hard about it imo.
