im not convinced that the will make the best ferreting dog at all mate but its each to their own,i personally would use a collie whippet grey or a beddy whippet grey.something along those lines but anyway thats upto you,heres a saluki grey-whippet grey that my mate had.he had to get rid before he did anything with it thow because he moved abroad after some family bother and never got chance to run it,this dog was sold on here but i havnt herd owt about it sinceit was a dog called copper.atvb with your pup.
