Rabbit dog

[Jay w 8]

What is people opinion on the best cross for a decent lurcher used purely for rabbits day or night 

[Elchapo 3,167]

Bull mastiff greyhound with touch of Alsatian 

[Loton Moocher 1,254]

A whippet

[Allan P 1,150]

I don’t think there is a best cross as such just try and source a pup from parents that are doing the job  . Good luck in your search.

Get yourself a we whippet greyhound x something and you won't go far wrong 

[poxon 5,742]

Beddy x or collie x of some description

[JAE B 550]

Fast lurcher x lurcher type

[Greb147 6,809]

One that can catch one, any mutt fast enough and sharp enough. 

[shaaark 10,869]

Just rabbits, day or night, whippet/collie/greyhound

[SheepChaser 8,089]

Depends on your ground. But generally a small Lurcher type thing.

Whippet on fast ground 

[Luckee legs 472]

Agree that your ground is important. Most dogs are good in pasture grass or low crops where rabbit has a hard time if the dog turns it off its normal run. Different on short flat grass for example my current Collie x is totally outclassed in drag races with rabbits on local sports fields while a whippet cross I had many years ago was superb in similar circumstances

[nothernlite 18,089]

Dog should catch on any land be it fast ground to moors if it cant no worth a f..k

beddyx whippetx collie grey, somthing  23-25in 50 odd lb , deff need good coat on it,a cold wet night  when lamping, or if standing about ferreting a dog soon feel it. i never forgot the one day ferreting in feb , had my old lurcher x lurcher bitch out, she was most greyhound with bit of  whippet and collie, but she had  the greyhound type coat, norm lamping she was ok , as she be on the move, but standing about she started to get cold. i had to put a old coat on her back, which did help a bit. was qyite funny really, as had couple bolts and she run after the rabbit, with my coat on her, me coat just flew off lol, but she caught the rabbits, got  a 14 then packed up, she was glad to get back in motor  lol, so deff a good type coat is what look for for a rabbit dog, both my dogs have good thick coats on them, one 1/2 collie x grey, the other 1/2 Alsatian x grey

He’s bred that way but useless so far! I would like to try a grew in the future definitely. Think would suit the small fields near me where you don’t see a lot anyway.
