ferreting_man 1 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hello all I was wondering if I could get advice on what breed of dog would be suitable for a youngish man. Preferably a type what are quite easily trained and got that natural kill instinct. I would like a dog for rabbiting. Please advise thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
General lee 979 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I would suggest a collie greyhound for lamping and ferreting I assume that's what you want it for Quote Link to post Share on other sites

South hams hunter 8,814 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 A halfx collie may be abit smart for a newbie and silly little mistake that we all make could become magnified. Perhaps a beddy/whippet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
delswal 3,817 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 With SHH on that one, young lad starting the game rabbiting ect, beddy x whippet from good stock,the chances are the dog will teach you more than you teach the dog. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please advise thanksfirst thing if you only want to catch rabbit you don't want kill you want catch I can tell you first hand a dog that smashes every rabbit gets on ya tits feck this cross or that cross get your self a rabbit dog to rabbit dog lurcher to lurcher bred pup just make sure dam and sire do the job anything between 20 to.26 inch tts my preference is a rough coat they take the standing around in the cold better when ferreting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mad4it 693 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 a straight whippet, whippetx beddyor any terrier or a greyhound x collie, whippetx collie make ideal rabbiting dogs,just make sure the parents are doing it. good luck finding one there loads about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stud dog 632 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 I would go for a quarter collie or beddy don't matter what running dog is in it or lurcher to lurcher bred you won't go far wrong with a good lurcher to lurcher Quote Link to post Share on other sites
