Numerous breeds excel at the rabbiting game though my preference as always been collie x's though things like terrain can limit what dog suits imo,seen some great whippets on the bunnies though they just don't suit my ground.Beddy/whip is a popular choice and they do well as do grews but like a whippet they can struggle on some terrain.

there is no 100% answer on a perfect rabbiting dog... some collie greys be better than beddy whippet and vice versa and so on.. the key is finding your personal favourite breed then that would be your perfect dog

different people have different opinions,some have worked different crosses over the years and are in theory more qualified to have an informed opinion.and what do you mean by rabbiting,lamping,daytime or bolting with ferrets or all of them together.at the moment i prefer the whippet,then the collie x.though the bedlington xs have a lot going for them.

Depends on the rabbting job, is it ferreting, lamping, daytime mouching, also the land you frequent could be a contributing factor. The best dogs i have seen were predominately collie based......
