There's honest people trying there hardest to start a national lurcher club and your writing about killing cats and dog fights you need educating! No wonder lurcher men get a bad name. Whether you like cats or not there peoples pets and dog fights your a let down to every woman and man that work there dog! You need baning from the forum.

roybo 2,873 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I had a patterdale x whippet bitch. She hunted like a hound would go to ground ,but be called out. Had an excellent nose ,was an excellent ratter busher ferreted,but was a yard slow for rabbits in the field , But was the most argumentative and yappy dog I've ever known . Wouldn't mind another like her tbh 1 Quote Link to post

Con6212 155 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 A mate of mine had a litter of parson x saluki greys (accidental). I know that's not jack Russell whippet but a few out of this litter made handy dogs, they loved the red things and mopped rabbits up for fun. Believe it or not they didn't do half bad on the big rabbits either. But I wouldn't purposely go out and buy a dog of this breeding, or similar. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 My mate (who is on here) has a russel x whippet dog. It's got to be around 22", and just looks like any other whippets lurcher. Its very capable, and will easily catch rabbits on the lamp or bolting daytime, and plenty of other things besides. I think the dog may be a bit of an anomaly but if you could breed them all like that they'd be grand. Quote Link to post
