gilly-93 31 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 How much could i expect to pay for a quality rabbiting dog to work with my ferrets i.e Stock broken, Mark's holes, Reitreves live to hand. Im not interested in a dog what runs hare's or fox's, are dogs like this available, no sarcastic comments please as this is a genuine post from someone who wants to take the next step. I wouldnt no what to look for in a pup or have the expeirence to bring it on, what sort of cross/breed would i need to be looking at? Size? Dog or bitch? Rough or smooth coat? I have lots of permission and a exellent home. Thanks All Quote Link to post
Rory4 267 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 So you are after a pup or dog thats already working & stock broken etc? Quote Link to post
ferret boy charlie 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 if your looking for one just for rabbits id go for a whippet or a collie\grey or maybe a beddlington whippet you dont sound too experianced get out with someone who knows there stuff and learn about there injurys and training if you are closer id let you come out with us were not very good but ....... good luck Quote Link to post
Rory4 267 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 My bad mate read it wrong! Not sure why anyone would be selling a dog which is that good in season! but good luck mate Quote Link to post
gilly-93 31 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 No not a pup, as ive said in my post. Quote Link to post
sniper 30 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 If i was after just a rabbit dog,then i would go for something around 21-23tops, most probably heavily whippet,or even full whippet,there used to be a breeder of whippets they were around 23 inch and 50lb field whippets i think, maybe a whipp/grey would suit or beddie/whippet.cheers...

sniper 30 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 No not a pup, as ive said in my post. Maxhardcore has a 18 month old whipp/greyhound dog for sale,looks a cracker mate & just what you want by the sounds of it? Quote Link to post
MikeTheDog 153 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 If it weighs 50lb it aint a whippet! gilly-93, difficult one to answerer imo as I don't think you'd have much luck finding such a beast unless someone has been sent down or a family bust up. Maybe re home a suitable dog from a rescue centre!...Good luck. Quote Link to post

stormrider8 59 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I dont personaly belive that anyone would sell a dog that does the lot, i know people sell dogs and say that they are a 100% but who is to say even if they are, would they do the same for someone else. I know a bloke that used to buy so called trained gun dogs and pay good money and when brought home were only half way there.. Why? Quote Link to post

Maxhardcore has a 18 month old whipp/greyhound dog for sale,looks a cracker mate & just what you want by the sounds of it? Just had a look at that dog, nice looking, how big would you say it is? At that age once you start working them, and they are from good working lines do they learn easy? Quote Link to post
