ideal dog

[jf1970 328]

i will be getting a lurcher soon and would like a few pointers . i would be looking for a dog to work during the day out ferreting,ideally the dog wouldn't be to large as i have 2 cockers at home aswell,i take my little cocker bitch out ferreting with me and she will bush,mark holes and hold a rabbit down in the net but she has no chance of catching any that get away,i have never owned a lurcher before so any advice is greatly appreciated. atb

cheers stabba,was thinking about whippet cross,can't get a whippet/beddy over here they are as rare as hens teeth.

1/4 kerry blue or irish terrier, 3/whippet would be a good cross for bunnys or any collie x

beddy/whippet x collie/grey best for ferreting, mooching, bushing

3/4 whippet 1/4 collie or one of the irish terrier x's maybe.the ones with the terriers in make nice ferreting dogs because they got the nose for marking and a bit of cover work.atvb withwhat you buy.al
