Guest Catcher Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) what do you guys consider to be the best type of lurcher for doing rabbits where the fields are quiet small and the bunnies dont sit to far out so the dog would have to be quick off the mark collie,greyhound,whippet Edited February 10, 2009 by Catcher Quote Link to post

Guest hpool_hunter Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 most dogs will take rabbit , even seen some pure bred collies do well on rabbits , my option would be a small type though - 3/4 whippet 1/4 collie , or similar . HH Quote Link to post
bird 9,792 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 linebred collie lurcher, generations of rabbit catching Yes, and one 23ins 45lb with good coat+feet, would be spot on for any size field. Quote Link to post
beddiwhuppet 10 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 there is no best cross, just some crosses more popular than others, if you had a wippet/greyhound and was out 1ce a week and i had a bullx and was out 4 times a week then i think my dog would be better (even though i dont own a bull x) just stated a fact. you get out what you put in mate plenty of time youll get any dog going be it sal/grey, whippet/grey any type of lurcher even bitsa's very true Quote Link to post
jimmy0211 2 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 deerhound greyhound / collie houndwhippet greyhound is the best dog for rabbits mate he obviously thinks otherwise Quote Link to post
Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would say an extremely quick dog that weighed about 35 pounds with loads of stamina for all day deals. He or she probably oughta have a sire and dam that were about the same and they took rabbits for fun. The mad scientist in me though says 3/4 whippet 1/4 collie. HAHA! Quote Link to post
