What’s people’s preferred cross for a rabbit dog!
LamperNM replied to LamperNM's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Until you decide to lamp the 3/4 whippet on stoney moorland type of land -
I know lad ??
-
Two dogs there I had from pup saluki x bull types.. you could put them into any situation and they’d handle it well.. not saying any other type couldn’t just the man has a point a bit of bull blood can go a long way.. same for any cross added depends on what the dogs purpose will be ?
-
Don’t be daft there is no way I’d go back to a bull cross.. when I was younger yes times change I’ve no use for one now a little bit in the mix wouldn’t do no harm?? I run what suits me and the ground I run on. End of the day everyone has there preferred cross and I don’t need to say mine as you’ve already said it ????

Old school type., I remember a mate had one very similar stamp to this blue and white collie greyhound.. has to be one of the best rabbit catchers I’ve seen in the lamp ? -
Just abit ? the ones I’ve had have been good allrounders so you have a point there

Would go well to my bitch. 100%

Beauty of a dog well built bet he could mop the rabbits up -
Got a passion for this cross and be interesting to see other lads dogs.. and hear your opinions on this type ?
-
I think aswell when you have one from generations you get a more versatile type.. rather then a first cross or 3/4 Breds I’d always go down to at least 3rd generation if possible when choosing this type ?
-
No doubt about that coat holding up. That bedlington blood just puts something to them and it certainly adds abit of fire to them best of luck
-
Il never forget the night I took a whippet type lamping rabbits up the Scottish borders. We had 3 dogs this night a saluki lurcher type and a collie lurcher.. the wind and rain was on our side and the other two dogs not the whippets.. it really knocked the stuffing out the little bitch she had a few runs no kills.. before I had to carry her back to car baring in mind this was a fresh dog young and fit.. I’ve never favoured them since this night thin skinned fragile shivering things.. probably start something here but that’s my opinion ?
-
You can see the coat on this dog is pretty thick and by my eye that could stand a harsh night.
-
Depends on the type of coat it’s got to be right.. I know exactly what he means as some types can hold onto the water
-
The beddy and collie really puts a coat to them pal trust me.. been out in the worst of weather with mine and the rain just runs off it it’s sort of a double coat

This is my type of dog.. -
Hoping this line is the start of something special but that’s hoping we all know not all of them make the grade
-
I have a beddy/grey x collie/grey bitch there does me well it does go well together the two. And certainly gives them a good weatherproof coat ?
-
Good question.. I don’t know of any working Irish terriers do you??
-
There’s a lad on Facebook runs this cross I can’t mind his name but they can graft that’s for sure ?

LamperNM replied to LamperNM's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I like that mate.. it’s like a stronger built whippet looks perfect for the job -
That’s the one we are holding back ?
