Im looking for a cross of dog that will catch rabbits with ease but not too big as some sport will take place in woodlands but there will aslo be the odd field and open land and i like the look of the broken coated dogs

 

thanks

 

Why does it need to be small to work in woodlands?

[louis123 12]

well i presumed so..so they will be more nimble around the trees i thought a smaller dog would be more suitable as they are more agile that a bigger cross...maybe i thought wrong :S

Would go for the bedlington whippet mate.

I would want an extremely fast rabbit dog. It will probably look like a whippet/greyhound I guess.

[louis123 12]

the problem that ive heard about pure whippets or greyhounds or a bit of both is that they have very thin skin that is very liable to cuts and a man i was speaking to today said he had lots of greyhounds come in to his kennels and smash the tip of the tails on the walls cos they were so thin and when they wag them they jsut crack

Dont own one myself

But I'd say they would have pretty good stamina from the beddie side

Heres some more pictures of a wider variety of the crosses
