What do I want

[NEHunter 14]

On the Market for a lurcher but as it's my first one was looking for some advise.

 

I alway thought I just wanted a beddyx whippet, nice and small to fit in tractor, good for ferreting and on my main quarry rabbits.

 

But recently I have been thinking I would like something bigger like a beddy x grey, just for the stamina in the bigger fields we have around here. And maybe something with some collie in it. I need something which Is small enough to be a nice companion dog but bold enough to match the performance of the deerhoundxs I go out with. And tough enough to be out and about fencing etc in the cold winter. I don't think I need anything with any bull or big saluki in but any opinions welcome.

 

I have thought so much about what to get I have confused myself. Thank. NEHunter

i,ve a whippet, bull whippet and a grey x whippet, nice dogs, good size for my circumstances, but i wish i'd of gone for something with a bit of saluki in(although you're not that keen) , just for stamina reasons. The whippet x grey runs rabbits all night, but if if by accident it puts up a hare or two and has a good run it does stuff him a bit.

Don't get me wrong, I love the looks and athletic side of a saluki. I just think that a saluki x would be too tall for what I want. And maybe need a lot more exercise to keep top notch?

Just because they have a bit more brain? So they question what you want? Or just stubborn buggers?
