victor 10 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 if it is just ferreting and lamping rabbiots, id say whippetxgrey, small but biggenough. but that isnt always the case. get something that may be able to take a fox ro a hare, as in time you WILL change your mind about just rabbits. i know i have not regretting my desion but could have maby gotten something with more of a jaw Quote Link to post
