It's not so much the cross it's getting a dog that jest loves to hunt IV got one here he's a mix's of collie bull saluki greyhound but any cross will do it if trained as a pup

for mooching , any herding type lurcher, collie ,kelpie , gsd  , these type breeds , ave great nose  for finding quarry , rabbits, birds ,all my dogs are brill in the day, and good  lamping dogs . like been said most lurchers will use there nose to find game, but some xs like above are that bit more keener  i think ., and that from messing about with different type lurchers in 30 odd years   .

Lots of lurcher will hunt , some better than others depending on the cross ,some are better equipped for the task , the amount of effort put in to getting them out ,where your hunting , if there's very little to chase then the catch rate will be low and the learning curve very wide  ,and being around other dogs knocking stuff out and catching will help bring a dog on in leaps and bounds but I believe a dog that wants to kill it's prey will be a lot more committed in cover than a dog just hunting , commitment to the task is all important from man and dog combined !!!

Any dog will learn to catch stuff with brain rather than speed if its out enough. Ive a little bushing bitch catching rabbits all the time and had variety not even a year old. Just get them out amongst stuff. Seen coursing dogs only ever pointed and slipped learn to mark snatch up bolters point to birds retrieve off the water all that.

Something with bedlington in it

Its less about how they are bred, and more about how they are raised.

personally anything with a touch of terrier or hound....but any x when schooled from a young age should do the job imo

Horses for courses, what one man will won't from his Busher, will be a different cross/type, to another in a different part of the country.

Terrier cross

Most lurchers will hunt up if given a chance I think its more how there brought up than what cross you have

Depends on the terrain and what quarry you want or will encounter but any lurcher should be capable of mooching in theory using sight and smell to find its quarry , bit of speed but mainly stock broken and good recall .
