victor 10 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 just rabbits? whippetXgrey foxes throw abit of bull in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest flapper Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 correct me if im wrong but i thought a greyhound was part of the make up of a lurcher, so why do people keep saying "greyhound x lurcher" what is the lurcher bit apart from that a bedlington whippet greyhound mite be the cross for you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest flapper Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 i would of thought a pure whippet would of been better if thet are just after rabbits, imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest hpool_hunter Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 you wont go wrong for most type of lurcher on rabbits , most will do the job , most certainly some may cope better than others , but all depending on what the ground is like you hunting ect , big feilds , small feilds , ect .... a few * rabbiting dogs* whippet - whippet x bedlington - whippet x greyhound - collie x greyhound - collie whippet - a mixture of dogs such as saluki greyhound x collie greyhound put to collie greyhound , also known as * heinz 57* type lurchers , abit of everything thrown in , will also do , plenty of lurchers and lurcher breedings to choose from , best option is choose whats right for yourself and your ground , not what the local * trend* is at the moment .... good luck with your search all best HH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
