Whippet x greyhound

[Daisy the destroyer 20]

I was just wondering what’s everyone’s opinions on whippet x greyhounds for rabbits and does anyone know of a breeder or anyone who has one for sale as I would like to buy one as I have a lot of permission for lamping and ferreting local so one from good working stock would be preferable and preferably a bitch,any info would be much appreciated, I am in south east kent.

I dont know much about Lurchers im at the basic learning stage so dont take my word on it....but im led to believe a grey/whippet is like a 1000 bhp sports car with Vauxhall Zafira running gear.....in a straight line fantastic just dont try to twist,turn or stop.

Fella on here got one making a very handy dog for him. If it's rabbits you want then I'd say that's the dog not sure what they like outside of work but both dogs very easy to be around so couldn't see the x being any different.
