A whippet cross for rabbitting with ferrets

thanks for the advice so far lads. was thinking off crossing my working wheaten dog with a good courseing

whippet bitch. has anyone tried this cross for ferreting befor.

Will the wheaten not be a bit hard for rabbits if your wanting to use them?? The lurcher ive got crunches everything but i only use the rabbits for ferret food.

not worried about the crunching side of it. just need something with fair bit of speed,

strong prey drive,

and good intelligence.

i use most of the catch for ferret and dog food.

i can see by the pic that the rabbits are nice and cleanly caught.

not crunched or ripped.

your dog looks in great shape.

the right size for all types of ground.

atb with him.

I've got a JRT for marking & a beddy/whippet in my team. They do OK, but they'd do better if I could get more and show them more stuff.
