  4. I wouldn't run them down mate. They usualy do what they are bred for, but don't expect them to be taking Fallow, like some on here say they can !! LOL !! Good luck, and have fun with your dogs . Cheers.
  5. Done plenty of homework on this cross that's why I went for it just a small rabbiting dog is all I want but beddy whips seem to crop up on here all the time n some arnt to favourable probs worriying over nowt alwas do full research on what type I need don't want a big dog so this type seems to fit what I'm after just reading a lot of posts on here lately n some are running this cross down abit cheers
  6. If you have had Lurchers and Whippets before, surely you don't need to be asking this question ? Did you not do a bit homework and checking BEFORE you got this cross of dog ? Cheers.
  7. Hello all question I have a first cross beddy whippet she's 7 months old so will be starting her off in a few months time I've had other lurcher types and pure whippets in the past I mainly do ferreting a bit of shooting with the air gun and lamping how do u think she will fare its the lamping bit I'm thinking mainly as seen posts on here about this cross some say good some say to slow cheers all
  8. Northumberland is tough no matter what age u are tried there myself all keepered. The permish will probs go to beaters or people like that on the inside so to speak try n go to some small time farms n stuff
  9. Got a first cross bitch wouldn't recommend this cross for a first timer had lurchers n whippets but she's definitely the most stubborn recall can be a nightmare throws a def un or just refuses to come back sometims other times she's fine just when she feels like it I think
  10. Happened with my last dog he was a whippet was playing with the guys labs shot past him taking him strait out flipped him up smacked his head when he came down was a bit dazed luckily sort of new him through walking the dogs so was ok bout it but can easily happen a mean a little whippet knocking a 14 stone man in the air just shows with the speed how much power they have aswell
  11. Probs a good lurcher x lurcher no bull for me either don't belive in bull in lurchers just my opinion
  12.

  14. Don't get paranoid by reading about big bags on here and in mags those r in certain areas like where I run my dog hard going probs 1 out of 3 ratio but ran him in places where rabbs were abundant n hardly missed depends on land u run don't worry about it sounds perfectly normal what your dogs doing
  15. The bedlington was created as a small lurcher type dog in its own right in the first place was it not the origional old gypsie dog
  16.
