What Type?

[thomasc4329 10]

Hi everyone just wanted to ask people more knowledgeable than myself. I have a terrier I use for ratting and I do a lot off shooting aswell but I'm very interested in getting a lurcher. The areas I hunt aren't wide open fields they'd be mostly uneven ground and not massive by any stretch. I was just wondering what type off dog would suit this ground and be able for all legal quarry in Ireland. I quite like wheaten crosses myself. Thanks in advance for all replies.

A quick nippy type with a good drop of whippet, or a small type greyhound in should be ok, ground sounds same as what's local to me if I go for a quick wander

If you like the wheaten crosses, get yourself one of them, the more you get out the better you will both get

Or that yeah lol, no point getting a type of dog you don't really want

A whippet x pug would do the job

Whippet x pug lol. I might aswell bring the kids boxer!!! Thanks for the other replies lads. Is there many whippet x wheatens about have any off yous used them. I want a dog that'll be fit to run the type off ground on my permissions regularly and suit the terrain so injuries would be kept to a minimum.

as said mate if you like Wheaten crosses get one I know a couple of lads with them and there good dogs. first cross or 3/4 hound 1/4 Wheaten both good types and well able for all quarry we have here in Ireland just make sure its from working dogs. Wheaten crosses can lack a bit in stamina and need to be kept fit but when they are fit you wont go wrong.
