Neobliviscaris1776 1,998 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 I like both bull bred lurchers and saluki types. Imo a splash of real bull goes along way, not just to add grit and power but also the ability to take a knock and tumble without ending their careers. The ground you run too is half of the issue. If it's nice arable flat land you have then smaller faster types will be capable, but on rough ground, moor and hill country, you need something that is not only fast but strong, not lightly built.

Unless going rabbit bashing Five slips usually = a couple hours f*cking about on secret squirrel missions after the dog has put his feet up two or three is usually plenty! 1 Quote Link to post

A splash of real bull with this sort of blood and you have some seriously powerful animals that can handle the rougher terrain. Anything else just couldn't to do it regularly in my opinion without serious injury. Quote Link to post

Heart is massively important you’re right, but a dog that’s got a massive heart and a couple of inches and pounds on another dog with a massive heart, will have an easier ride of it all. No but I keep hearing a good little un will always beat a good big un I know your theoretically speaking I get that but but if a dog can do it it can do it that’s all I’ve said Quote Link to post

I personally love them mainly cos they are so biddable, intelligent and personable. Easy to live with and good for all round work. 1 Quote Link to post
