inan 841 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 if possible get out with the parents and see if there doin the business your more likely to get a good pup out of good working stock. and remember you only get out what you put into a dog doesnt matter what cross! hope you find the right thanks good advice all A combination of collie grey or whippet ,with maybe a touch ofBeddie ,if Rabbits is you intended game,I dont think Deerhound will give you anything but size and speed ,,and if you arent going for anything "big " you wont need it.I would aim at a dog around23 to 24 1/2 ,with a broken coat for preference as many whippet crosses suffer from thin skin and the cold.Collie will give you biddability,the whippet quick acceleration ,the beddie a bi9t of coat.There are many good dogs above and below my sizes ,but I would say for rabbits,anything over241/2 isnt needed.Good Luck!

Whippetxgrey is good all rounder. The deerhound may make it too big for rabbits. Bullx is good all rounder in my opinion. Quote Link to post
