A GWP x would do all that and more.

 

A GWP would probably do it without the need to dilute their blood but if it had a bit of greyhound in it then it would be perfect for following up.

How much collie is in them ?

 

I have read a 1/4 c 3/4 g would be best for first timer and lamping, but would they then lose there ruggedness ?

Yep, Dogs & Natives hit the nail on the head, bring 'em up on it. Simply choose which type of lurcher would suit your needs and get 'em out as puppys over the ground you want to hunt.

I've always hunted woodland and dunes but with dogs that have known that terrain from puppys.

It's just educating the dog, but I would opt for a robust type of dog, with enough size so it can afford to take a knock or two

I'd go for a first cross personally myself. Something that ain't to fast but fast enough. Collie grey would do it.

Not a clue mate,but there solid built for the job things and i've yet to see one wimp out on cover running and imo a 3/4 gh x would be a tad light for woodland running as you need a good broad chest to handle busting through cover and you need a good bone to handle the knocks the dog will be getting,but like i say just my opinion.
