They were simply a giant bulb and were hell on the drain on older motorbike batteries BUT they couldn't be beaten back in the 'golden age' of lamping

Personally,......

I would use (and have used) any type of canine, that can get me a result...

Obviously,...some varieties are better adapted to do the job than others..

This could be a really interesting and informative thread,.so lets hear everyone's opinions

How was that one bred Phil ?

You could replace the bulbs but they were a fortune,you had the blue eye and black eye bulbs,I’m sure a bulb cost me £23 which wasn’t cheap in them days and was made by Phillips

Collie whippet grey and bull whippet grey there just in shot (3/8 bull 3/8 grey 2/8 whippet). Both decent dogs the bull cross a steadier type, both great noses but the collie cross would range further and at higher pace.

Any lurcher should be able to take rabbits but I'd say a whippet x grey whith a bit of collie in the mix be my choice or a bedlington grey x collie grey .
