beddywhippet for daytime rabbits every time 

If you want a purebred for rabbits a whippet is the only choice.

I’ve had 3 Bedlingtons and only 1 of them ever caught rabbits on a regular basis and that was in rough cover brambles etc,they are miles behind a rabbit out in the open,go for a Bedlington x whippet l

A decent Beddy whippet will take rabbits and the very odd hare no problem, personally I prefer a Beddy grey as their able for all game. Rabbit numbers can decrease to nothing if they get with RHD or myxi, then take years to come back. My mates patterdale terrier caught the odd rabbit on the lamp  but she wouldnt catch anything during the day.
