thanks that's it Shiiit

Sadly lads I posted a topic on here looking for information on the Bedlington terrier x greyhound,i got great feedback till today ,so far I have got idiots and muppets replying saying I am a peddler for a money making scheme.these idiots or armchair warriors should really read the topic before they jump in head first,no matter what site you join there is always idiots like these try their best to ruin a breeding program,if truth be known these muppets probably don't even own a pair of wellies,?si I think its best I don't share any more information about my breeding program on this web site ,i

NO

little man with a big mouth

yes I agree,if you leave it alone for a year the amount of bunnies could treble on that land
-
Yeah sure sharrrky what ever floats your boat?

well poxon,2 to 5 years a lurcher is at its best,waiting for a bitch for her sixth birthday is a bit far away for my breeding program,in a few years if I am still alive and kicking I will prove you wrong,the starting point is all about breeding your own,not using a 1st cross to a greyhound but breeding from what you know,and my starting point will be the Bedlington to a track or field greyhound,if I was to wait 6 years to breed my lurchers it would be nearly 20 years and I would be 80,a little late to be trying to test a lurcher to its full intent,we are all entitled to our own opinion as I sa

Thank you John.

Poxon,what would I have to gain on a few pups,a 100 euro a pup,say 4 pups 400 euro,think or rearing them till 8 to 9 weeks old,working them every two week,first injections,including parvo,and you think I am in it for profit,when is the last time you bought a injection for a young pup,when was the last time you brought a dog to a vet,...at between 2 to 3 years old a lurcher should be in its prime,and at that time one should be able to decide if that dog in questing should be bred or not,..i was told when I started this topic,that a lot on here will try and ruin or run down my breeding program,b

I also have seen greyhound take on fox first time out as well,i also seen greyhound turn tail and run from the action,i think the speed is was comes from the greyhound, the rest to make the lurcher you want lies on what you cross it with .
-
Sure,as soon as I have what I want and the animals I am going to use I will post a few pictures.

Thanks Marvel,yes I am on a mission to breed this type of lurcher,as for surplus pups,i am sure when word gets out I have this greyhound in pup to this Bedlington I will have no shortage of buyers..but that's all for next year and I have to concentrate on the greyhound and this working Bedlington and make sure everything goes to plan
-
I agree,the pit I think should be only used over the greyhound as I have heard very good stories of that cross and they excel in the work that they are used for.
-
I think from 23 to 26 inches is my ideal height for this breed,the bigger you go then I think you run into problems,i have seen greyhounds that were in the 30s and they needed plenty of land to turn,
-
I think it might be a phase they are going through in their life,the chap that brought me to his kennels told me that the wheaton was very good at the job it does.
-
That some nice haul of bunnies,i have used snares in the past but never did I have or even come close to the amount of bunnies you get.... well done I say.
-
Marvel,i didn't think I was the first to start a breeding program with the beddy x greyhound,its something I always wanted to do,and now as I have more time and space and loads of patience I intend to breed,and if I get a few good ones all the better and if not I will keep plodding along
-
Northernlite,can I ask what height did your lurcher make,is he game,and is he broken coated or smooth,
-
I think your right there Elchapo,i think when some are looking to improve on a working bitch they are looking in the wrong direction,i came across a chap in co louth Ireland that had a nice looking wheaton terrier bitch and as he said to me to improve its bloodlines he put a pit across her to put more gameness into the breed,which I disagreed with him,i myself think the wheaton itself is game enough and you don't need any other type of terrier to improve it
-
Thanks Bosun11,i am and I intend to carry out this breeding program that I want and hope every thing goes to plan.
-
In my quest in looking for a nice small gamey patterdale stud for my small Russell bitch,i have come across some monsters out there,a lot over here are crossing them to pits and producing very hard ground dogs,a lot I have seen are hospital cases,one day out and 6 weeks laid up till the wounds heal.can I ask you lads,is the patterdale not as game as they once were that you have to cross them to pits to produce very very hard terriers
-
after I breed the the first cross and the second cross,i will try the 5/8 greyhound 3/8 beddy just to see what this type produces
-
Well lads thanks for the replies, this is the breed I want and this is what I am going for,my plan for my first litter of pups if all goes well is to keep two bitches back for my selg,my other hunting buddy will take a dog pup and another friend will take either a dog or bitch,i don't expect the first cross to be world beaters but I do want them to be a pot filler,i want them to be able and fast enough to catch bolting rabbits from cover,take rabbits off the lamp and if the opportunity arises be well able to take fox,i don't want them or expect them to be top hare killers as I don't think

Bird, I always fancied breeding this cross [Bedlington x greyhound] so my mind is set on breed,i knew a chap in Dublin Ireland that bred wheaton greyhound to a greyhound and the pups turned out really nice,good all rounders,bred off a genuine wheaton greyhound,a hard dog,not fast enough for a hare but for a dog for the lamp on either fox or rabbit he exceled,or to mark warrens or earths he never proved his owner wrong,and the greyhound that he used was a bitch that was banned off the track for fighting.the pups turned out rough and smooth and some were really show stoppers,but my mind is
