Is that when you have been going out specifically for hares, or just, when you have bumped into them?

 

Ive never went out "looking" for them but i've still had 30 odd a season?

i keep whippets my self and can fault them for lamping and ferreting what adventage do you think rabbiting lurcher have over the whippet i dont think they have much. before we start whippet are not more prone to the cold than any other short coated dog if keep out side

 

thanks robert

they are buddy, trust me, they dont like rain either! but are decent enough rabbiting dogs as long as the fields arent too big!

my 19month old whippet bitch ran a big fox last week. She was going nuts to try and catch it. Dont know what the result would have been if she had got hold of it. She aint even had a rabbit yet. We race her at club level, but she goes into hyper hunting mode when out in the fields. She is only 24 pounds in weight.
