What about pure whippet? Handy little first dogs from what ive heard?

 

Are they easy to bring on?

Just depends what your wanting the dog to do.... a bit of advice from me would be, if your happy sticking with the bunnies a whippet x would be fine but what if you want to move on to other quarry after a good couple of seasons you may find yourself looking for another dog with a bit more stamina and power??? One to think about atb

If this is your first dog, then my advice would be, do plenty of homework on what you want it to do and ensure your choice is a type of medium size, 23" - 25", therefore you will find that you will be able to do most things with it, because as sure as eggs is eggs you ain't gonna stick to one quarry..!
