johnnyboy28 1 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi all , I had to have my bitch pts a while back My mrs has 2 x minature schnauzers so when I get another lurcher it has to be small as small as possible What is your advise only for a day dog rabbits rats etc Was thinking a small 3/4 whippet x 1/4 beddy What are your thoughts as small as possible with enough pace to catch a flushed rabbit Thanks John Quote Link to post
irishnut 297 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Don't see how anything 3/4 or full whippet won't catch rabbits and rats. Quote Link to post

mattyg 1,862 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 theyre all small if you look at em from far away...... If that one don't wash I'd go for a well bred whippet! 1 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 jonnyboy, jonnyboyI see your age is 49! I must say I am some what surprised you havent layed out the ground rules in your house yet, or is your Mrs a labour MP 1 Quote Link to post
johnnyboy28 1 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 42 mate. I just don't want a dog that is capable of destroying the terriers mate Quote Link to post
neems 2,406 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 42 mate. I just don't want a dog that is capable of destroying the terriers mate sighthounds are normally pretty calm around the house,but any working dog would destroy a mini schnauzer if it came to it. a bigger dog would be less likely to kick off imo Quote Link to post
mad4it 693 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 a well bred whippet or jrtxwhippet is what i would go for Quote Link to post
