poxon 5,742 Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Just about any lurcher is good enough for rabbits I find you limit your self more in finding one when you want say a genuine 3quarter greyhound collie or a f1 beddy or collie greyhound as these types of crosses not many people use them these days the people that used to use genuine 1/2 breds or 1/4 breds have moved on or bred on they just breed lurcher to lurcher or worker to worker your probably be better of keeping a open mine an go for a Lurcher to Lurcher bred with a drop of a few bits an bobs in its breeding long as it’s predominantly racey bred ie heavy sight hound blooded your not go far wrong...hope someone off here offers/sorts you out something fella gotta be better than having your pants pulled down with a 2k price tag 2 Quote Link to post

I’ve got this bitches granddaughter now she’s only young her first season we’re her grandma wouldn’t do that job the young bitch has no hesitation to retrieve shot fox just as keen to track shot deer an the same on rabbits bush/ferret or lamp. I think a bit of collie in most Lurchers is a good thing some collie xs are sensitive buggers if to much base blood is in there but handy dogs all the same 12 Quote Link to post
