Which is best cross for 1st Lurcher?

[treehouse 0]

Hi, I am planning on gettting my first Lurcher later this year - looking to hunt rabbits mainly.. daytime mooching/bushing & perhaps lamping - will be in kent area, on mix of orchards, woodland & fields. I was thinking of a Bed/Whip 1st cross as have seen em recommended on a few forums - other option I was thinking of Collie cross - for trainability?. Has anybody got experience of working both? & which would make the better dog for a begginer & why in your opinion?

 

cheers

deerhound blooded dogs always seem steadyer but at the same time switched on to there work.

personaly for a first cross, hunting partner,i prefer a, border collie dog x greyhound bitch, i would buy a genuine bred pup of about 8 weeks old, make sure you can see both parents, and i dont think you will go wrong.
