if you were hunting rabbits on nice flat fields then i bet it would be a little rocket,but probly wont like the cold or rough terrain,stick with a pure whippet, pound for pound its the fastest accelerating animal in the world ive got a colliexgrey/whippet shes great on rabbits

ive read a few and in my opinion jakie drakeford understanding the working lurcher brilliant read excellent training methods, hunting tips,bringing on,recall everything,plummers books are good too,also the countrymans weekly has usually a few pages on lurchers every week.

just last winter i brought a nitestalker 220 this is my first lamp i got, as only had a lurcher for a year, very long beam on it, i was put off the lightforce range as after reading posts on here of bad wiring, i decided reliability was more important than a slightly tighter beam.you can get your battery from debens website http://www.deben.com/lights_lamping/batter...ttery_packs.php hope this helps
