A decent lurcher will catch as many any terrier, and ye don't take terriers lamping because there to small not quick enough and can tap on a lurcher has no down fall in the ratting game Quote Link to post
matt1979 766 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 It's not something I have done with lurchers myself but have no doubt they could do the job. But the places I have ratted would be a potential injury nightmare for a running dog suppose some are more durable than others but still a lot of potential risks IMO atb 1 Quote Link to post

LaddyLurcher 261 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I don't think he'll come a cropper in any way there's bales of straw n piles of grain rather than sharp machinery every where n main sets are in a soil banking any other obstacles will be moved by the farmer rest of them are in the pipes n drainage systems which will be getting smoked out my little bitch would be ideal but she's in season so I'll just take my deer grey x whippet at 25tts he's not gonna be a ratting machine but it's a day out plus when every ones gone I'm gona lamp rabbits in the surrounding fields!
