New lurcher

[cumbrian-whippet 1]

Im going to be getting a new lurcher as soon as something suitable comes along, and my question is this: In terms of trainability, living with it, hunting ability etc. which one of these would people choose:

 

colliexgreyhound-salukixwhippet

colliexgreyhound (1st cross or 3/4 grey)

colliexwhippet (1st cross or 3/4 whippet)

 

These are the dogs i am considering and i think some collie blood is a definate in my final choice.

 

The land i work at the moment is a mix of small flat fields, larger hilly fields, fields that could almost be described as moor land and everything between.

 

I have a pure whippet at the moment and although she has pace to burn she lacks a bit of stamina and possibly a bit of common sense!

 

Im after a dog between 22-24" as i think on the land i work and the quarry (only rabbits) a smaller lurcher would be the best choice.

 

Also the dog will be used for lamping mainly but also ferreting (when i get hold of some new ones) and general mooching.

 

Thanks

Adam

 

p.s. im only asking a question so constructive comments only please

Collie/Grey X Whippet/Grey would be another option.
