Wild_and_Irish 11 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) I'm looking to get a lurcher to eliminate the rabbits living on my land because there numbers have been increasing in recent years and destroying grazing for my horses, i realise there are many types of lurchers and was having trouble finding out which would be best suited to my needs.Thanks, Tarlach.

Wild_and_Irish 11 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I would considers a collie cross but i would think about the ferrets too. I'll definitely keep the ferrets in mind becaus i know a few farmers that have rabbits on ground that a lurcher couldnt get to them. Thanks, all the best Quote Link to post
