milliken 790 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 any decent rabbit dog will take hares on the lamp best left for the day time robert Quote Link to post
Guest joe ox Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Everyone knows hares loose there speed, agility and suddenly turn into slugs once its dark! Dogs with whippet and greyhound in there mix can be very good, there is no best cross as such the best ones usually have several breeds in there makeup.

Guest hpool_hunter Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 strictly speaking pre ban of course lol - but as said most lurcher breeds will manage , some handy whippets with a good early pace will have no problem . some of the best lurchers can be * BITZAS* , and just have few breeds in their make up , Quote Link to post

Guest proudy Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Average dogs can catch lamped hares, especially when the hares run past you close enough for you to trip them. Or look for them in long grass, thats a good way 4 a shit dog to kill em. mine takes em regular saying that she missed about 15 last nite but they were super hares. much harder 2 kill on the fens Edited September 11, 2008 by proudy Quote Link to post

robgriff1 4 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 if you ask me you cant really beat a salukixgrey Depends on the weather mate, if its dry, the land is flat & I wear trainers I'm a fair match for 'em but in wet conditions they leave me standing cos I have to wear wellies!
