GypsyJoe 36 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 My personal fav. 3/4 Saluki 1/4 Grey, but everyone has there own opinions, plus there isn't a magic formula as such, you can have the best bred dog, from the best lines that might be really abismal when it comes down to it, then 'Old Gyp from down the road' with no champions or special breeding might wipe the floor with someone's 'Benji Barny bred Khan jihad, Red, Lucky etc' champion .

Irishhunter95 0 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 id reccomend a whippet hound or collie hound for rabbits .. most lurchers will catch rabbits if reared right and you put time into them thoo Quote Link to post

Many thanks Youre thinking on the right lines here with the ingrediants mate IMO, but i wouldnt want one bred from 1st x's. If you put 2 first x's together theres 3 small dogs in the immediate breeding collie,beddy,whippet, height and weight of bone could be tricky? Years ago 2 mates bred a litter using a beddy hybrid and a collie hybrid, not first x's, and both could take a brown hare fair and square, the pups turned out well, and one bitch owned by a mate was exeptionally good, proper allrounder day and night, dog of a lifetime.

What about the collie x grey x whippet? Dont be too concerned about exactly what is in the breeding mate, as long as you buy it off a decent lad, see the parents and they are fast enough and they do what you want your pup to do. then your probably already onto a winner. Also as personal preference I would get a dog at the bigger end of the height range you mention as you might find it to be more versatile. 2 Quote Link to post

hutch6 550 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Fair enough but it doesn't look good to the lurking anti-brigade if folk make it out like they are after them. Just another nail in the coffin. Quote Link to post
