Whats your opinion on the best lurcher cross?

[wild rover 548]

Ive been lamping a few times now (wouldnt really say im a "hunter" just tagged along on a few) and have heard many an argument on what is the best kind of lurcher. Im looking to get myself one so that i can go out on my own and catch what i want to, being a newbie to the whole thing i am asking all you keen fieldsports people, Whats the best cross? and why? Forgive my ignorance, im here to learn.

 

My advice is to think why and what you want your lurcher for, horses for courses, ie; is a larger type suitable for ferreting and mooching can it twist and turn like a smaller breed, can a smaller breed provide the speed and power sometimes needed, medium sized can provide both, what about what you are looking for, brain, temperament, loyalty, trainability or just something to slip and chase.???? Take your time decide what you want and make the right choice for the right reasons, then you have a partner for years.

no better post these to bring the sportman out of people lol .

well on another note .i didnt no where to start years ago .

and what ever you do decide upon i beleive the first dog will always be a good foundation

if you give 100% time and commitment to both lerning together good luck

 

best bit of advice all day i reckon

 

Im thinking on a deerhound/greyhound, i like the full deerhounds but i think theyd be a bit too big.

beddlington whippet or beddlington whippet greyhound, fantastic little rabbiters imo and mine has a run with the bull x's too on the odd occaision.
