you think a whippet is faster off the mark then a greyhound ? 

a whippet make ok rabbit dogs but i’d say a grew make a much better one if just rabbits 

and a descent coursing bred for lamping bunny’s not many pure whippets  would keep up  unless on real good going arable farmland a good coursing bred will beat a whippet on bunny’s run all night and course a few hares at first light mate 

Yes a whippet is quicker off the mark, probably because it is lighter and more agile. We had a racing grey bitch that won many city races, she was never beaten out of the box and weighed only 32lb, on long runs the bigger dogs would pass her. I've hunted rough country with pure whippets and their feet are fine where the greyhounds are shredded. I only hunt daytime myself so can't comment on lamping. I have a 3/4 whippet 1/4 grey atm and she does ok.

Me old beddy lurcher use to give mouth when she run in a wood or any where real rough, she couldn't hang on we a hare but never open up on them, I just put it down to frustration and I never started to young but ever dog different 

I seen few bedy lurchers yip with frustration,my bedy grey will yip but only in cover and it's like you say all down to frustration of wanting to catch ,I think it's the terrier in the mix

So how many day time rabbits did your coursing type take last season compared to its bigger cousin,very few I'd say unless bolted by ferrets .

 

it kills most bunny’s it runs mate plays with them but if i’m say i’m not looking for bunny’s or even on land we’re there is many to be honest

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Just got this stunning little bitch, nearly 12 months old, Deerhound x Bedie grey.
      I used to go out with my dad's Lurchers when I was a kid but I'm a female in my 30's now and struggling to get back into the swing of things.
      I'd love to have this girl knocking down bunnies but I just don't know where to start, I've barely seen a rabbit or and other quarry since I moved here.
      Any of you experts in my area fancy giving me some advice/practical experience (hunting related only)

      My mate who i do a bit of ratting with is looking for a Whippet or Whippety Lurcher pup.
      Idealy he's looking for a small, fast dog that is tough enough to rat alongside terriers, ferret and lamp with.
      A full whippet would be great but one with plenty of poke and will get stuck in to the rough and tumble of ditch side ratting days on freezing open land.
      There's no rush but if anyone can point him in the right direction that would be welcome.
      Thanks.
