HAMMERDAN 25 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Bedlington/whippet x greyhound... Or collie/grey x beddlington/grey.. Wont go far wrong with a dog with bedlington and grey in it's makeup, excellent rabbit d Quote Link to post
HAMMERDAN 25 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Bedlington/whippet x greyhound... Or collie/grey x beddlington/grey.. Wont go far wrong with a dog with bedlington and grey in it's makeup, excellent rabbit dogs, and not scared of getting nipped from stuff with teeth.. But this is just MY opinion, and everyone has one, it all cones down to personal experience tbh, and the crosses I provided are from my personal experience. ATB with your search.
