Tozer 385 Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just my 2 pence worth, but I don't really see a first cross terrier/whippet as a lurcher. More a handy dog, I had one of a type. Yes failed as a lurcher and a terrier. But could catch in crops/tussocks/reed beds, had the length of leg to get about obsticles after rats and could still get through most cover. The sort of dog you take for a wonder with enough speed to pick up tree rats, peg the odd rabbit and push things out. I must say though after that, I have gone for terrier and whippet seperately. sometimes a handy dog is just what is needed when bushing and ferreting in woods To be fair a lot of the time yes. I saw the video of yours and it is a different thing. Whilst they aren't lurchers they aren't true bushers either. I know I'd enjoy one. 1 Quote Link to post
