basically what you have is a lurcher x whippet pup,such a dog is suitable for rabbits,remember that a pup is just the start,you'll only get out what you put in.

get yourself a whippet/greyhound ,ideal for the bunnies ,ferreting and lamping

i dont think there should be much wrong with the litter the lad has bred.. should be quite handy,, ask him plenty of questions... i agree with jacob too whippet/greys are very good... i still miss mine

what are the size of the parents

for me and people have different opinions for rabbits id prefer a smaller type lurcher fast and nimble on the turn im a big field/stubble hunter in which you mainly see hare fox deer not realy many rabbits

rabbits dont tend to go too far from there burrows and the fields i see them in are not big to what i hunt normaly and some times rough moor land if i was to get a rabbit dog i think id go for something bedlinton/whippet hard nimble and fast but thats my opion

anyway hope this helps

 

all the best

Cheers for the advice folks

the fields i shoot on are small i have no problem keeping the

rabbits under control with the gun there are a few fox on there

but the shotgun sorts those out.

I just wanted a small and nimble dog to work along side my terrier

who loves to bush.

That is why i was wondering about that cross as the guy selling them

says they will make 22inch ats max

thanks again for the advice stu

Your mate at the gun club is talking out of his arse matey , no reason that type of dog will not do the job, sounds fine

if you want it just for rabbits as dobby said bed x wip guts and speed there all best what ever

should be bang on for rabbits bunny bouncer if the parents do the job so should the pups

true that fella at the gun club is full of it. 22" should make a good size for most things but that breeding that the lad round your wasy sounds deadon for wat you want ask him how the sire/dam work and as said already you will have some work to put in but it is worth it when you see your efforts pay off in the dog coming on, thats what makes it fun.
