The man behind it

looking for genuine opinions as whats best for this type of work

one from two good dogs don't realy matter what the x is

That was a genuine opinion, a dog is only as good as the man behind it...... and lets be honest, even the slowest of lurchers can put up a good show on rabbits on the lamp, pre ban hares where easy, and most dogs would do the odd charlie, just not day in day out

A mix of collie , beddy , wheaten , whippet, grey, saluki, and bull..... but definitely no deerhound in there cause there shite

Green hares were maybe easy but get one what had seen the lamp before and they put up a good show

It's funny how the deer cross has gone from being the "must have" dog in the 70s to the least popular/most unpopular of the common lurcher crosses. Guess that's fashion for you.

So what you saying is a lurcher that has been best to the best down the line, with lamping or day time some dogs will take teeth and some just will not that goes for all breeds..

seen dogs kill 12-15 hares in a night, never seen that in the day

most daytime hares are given fair law ... maybe thats why you see bigger numbers on the lamp

[gamerooster 1,179]

Fair point

The best allowed lamping dog I've ever seen was straight first cross whippet greyhound he belonged to a good old boy who I reckon was the best lurcher man I've ever met. May his soul rest in peace this dog iv personally seen take fox puss and rabbit countless times pre ban
