Guest jrt Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Thinken about getten a lurcher, i own a male russell so should i get a bitch or dog, id prefer dog but dont want them rippin shit out of eachother.. also i want it from a pup.. to work rabbits and rats and not be to big, a small lurcher would be ideal, but fast enough to catch rabbits.. which X would suit a beginner ? i like the look of the beddy x whippets but i dont wont to commit to a x yet.. but what are you thoughts on these and say beddy x grey what are the differences weakness and strengths between them?

A lot easier to train and less of a typical terrier! no yapping or hard mouthing etc. id advise a beddy whippet grey or beddy whippet collie grey for rabbits. Quote Link to post
labsnlurchers 39 Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 its got me thinking, what are the benefits of a beddy x whippet over a straight whippet? the terrier in them makes em a bit more hardy then a straight whippet Quote Link to post
