maybe for anyone out every good night lamping or full time pest control worker then a dog from tried and tested stock would prob be the best way to go, but for jo average out a couple of nights or days a week looking for a bit of sport a rescue lurcher or pup i think should fit the bill. like has been said already a lot of how a dog shapes up can be down to its owner..if rabbits have to be cleared to keep permision then there the option to ferret, far to much presure seems to sometimes be put on are lurchers got to catch this or that instead of enjoying the dogs what ever there abilities j
