Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 should be fine, only trouble i have is when i took the whippet out with the terriers he spent more time deep in cover with the terriers then he did chasing bolters. Quote Link to post

squab 2,875 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) the choice is your but id want something small around 22tts and quick off the mark for bushing, around my area miles and miles of hedgerows so rabbits dont tend to break across fields just further up the hedge dog needs to be quick for a short burst to catch them,suits me although we all different cheers Edited May 11, 2013 by hunter1372 1 Quote Link to post

lawrence 657 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 bred a litter that way couple of summers ago, good coats, quick of the mark, don't mind cover and hit hedges hard, so they suit me for daytime mooching and ferreting, i don't lamp myself but no reason they shouldn't be half decent at that as well. littermates , 22"/23" ats boots, new pup from Terry Aherne , same 3 breeds in the mix 3 Quote Link to post
