Glaswegian 4 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Rake a dont want a lurcher because they are too big for my i wont be hunting foxes or hares all i want i a dog that will catch a rabbit when it bolts and a whippet is bred to do that. Ideation what lines is your whippet mate? Ill have a look in that forum i wouldnt pay more than £500 for any pup that is going to be a working dog as noone knows how it will turn out even if its came from cracking parents Quote Link to post
Wales1234 5,562 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 You can get a small lurcher mate that will catch rabbits not all lurchers are huge ! Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) I got mine direct off mb. As has been said, not all lurchers are big. Seen plenty smaller than my whippet. And the same size. And plenty are just used for rabbits. But equally whippets make great bunny dogs, and I that's your game, they will do the job well. Edited to add - I paid a lot less than 500!!! And for ferreting a good whippet is very hard to beat. Edited September 8, 2013 by Ideation Quote Link to post
