Speaking for my whippet, rather than all whippets, just to avoid argument. I would say he is a decent rabbiting dog, especially when it comes to ferreting and general mooching / bushing. A lurcher is a cross bred running dog, a whippet is a pure bred sight hound. A lurcher is probably more likely to take to more things, i find a whippet perfect for what i do.
