    HE BEGAN RESEARCHING THE SUBJECT OF A BEDLINGTON BOOK IN THE LATE `s WHEN WORKING BEDLINGTONS WERE GAINING MORE POPULARITY(& copper toxicossis was the big issue). I WAS MEANT TO SEND HIM PHOTOGRAPHS, BUT HE WAS MORE INTERESTED IN GOING TO SOME HORSE EVENT OR SHOW ON THE MORNING I SPOKE TO HIM ABOUT SENDING HIM THE PHOTOGRAPHS. SEEING AS ID SPENT THE SUMMER TAKING MY COLLECTION OF PHOTOS AT VARIOUS SHOWS GAME FAIRS ETC I DECIDED NOT TO SEND THEM & CUT CONTACT

    there are pups out of good stuff £ 200 to £300 each. At £750 a go from an unproven dog i thought it was april fools day,do you get a full refund if no pups. THE DEAL USED TO BE AT STUD, THAT YOU GOT THE NEXT LINING FREE FOR MISSING BITCHES. MANY DONT OPERATE THIS POLICY NOW, I ALWAYS USE A PRE MATE TEST TO MAKE SURE THE BITCH HAS OVULATED BEFORE MAKING A JOURNEY FOR A MATING

    I HAVE ALREADY POSTED THIS PHOTOGRAPH OF MASTIFF TYPES IN ACTION. WHAT CROSSING SUCH DOG`S WOULD BRING TO A LURCHER IN THE PRESENT POLITICAL/MEDIA CLIMATE I DO NOT SEE. ALREADY WE HAVE PROVEN BULL CROSSES IF U REQUIRE A DOG WITH MORE "SPICE".

    THE KNUCKLE ON A DOG/PUP IS SIMPLY A RULE OF THUMB, I OWNED A DOG THAT SHOWED VERY LITTLE KNUCKLE YET MADE 27inches

    You obviously know nothing about cats ! I've seen one of the best dogs laid up after tackling, and killing, a cat !! An old bloke said "f**k cats !! A fox has teeth, but a cat has teeth AND claws " ! In fact, you know nothing about dogs if you think cats are a good way to bring pups on !!! TEETH, CLAWS & ADD "FIGHTING FOR ITS LIFE" TO THAT LIST. TAKING A RANDOM CLAW IN THE EYE WONT BRING YOUR DOG ON MUCH. CATS ARE BEST AVOIDED

    WELL THE DAY IT HAPPENED I COULDNT GET MY NORMAL VET,SO USED A LOCAL VET THAT I WILL NEVER USE AGAIN. X RAY SHOWED A DISPLACEMENT SO HE STRAPPED IT UP. ALARM BELLS STARTED RINGING WHEN HE SAID "it wasnt a fracture" THEN MINUTES LATER SAID "on a fracture scale of 1 to 5 she was a 1 or 2 with a good chance of full recovery". THEN WHEN I WAS LEAVING HE SAID "if she didnt recover i,d to bring her back for rehoming as the staff had fell in love with her". ANYWAY SHE DIDNT RECOVER & SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION ON GROWTH PLATE DAMAGE ETC MADE ME QUESTION HIS ACTIONS FURTHER. I HAVE NOT MENTIONED THE

    Thank you very much for taking the time to give me a great explanation Dan, very helpful mate. I am going to take the door gate away to stop any possible damage to the pup, he's 5 months and clearing it ! It was only intended to keep his muddy paws from lounge carpet, the mrs would kill me - oh well ! Thanks again I HAD A PUP THAT FRACTURED A GROWTH PLATE ON ITS BACK RIGHT LEG SIMPLY FROM AN ACCIDENT RUNNING AROUND THE GARDEN. WHAT HAPPENED?? I DONT KNOW, I JUST SUDDENLY HEARD THE PUP YELPING. EVEN AFTER VETERINARY ATTENTION,X RAY & STRAPPING THE LEG TO HEAL & RESTRICTING MOVEMENT

    TAKING THE MERLIN & EVE LINE BACK, MERLIN WAS ROUGH COATED AS WERE BOTH HIS PARENTS, TOBY(the Hoover) & G Smiths FLY. SEAGULL WAS ALSO BRED FROM EVE & IF YOU LOOK AT THE "Seagull" POST YOU WILL SEE THE TYPE OF COAT THAT HER SIRE OWNED BY Mc C, HAD ON HIM. THIS COAT HAS STAYED WITH MUCH OF THIS BREEDING EVEN THOUGH IT IS SALUKI SATURATED & A KC REG SALUKI HAS A FEATHERED COAT NOT A ROUGH COAT(this has always mostly been the preference rather than the smoother coated Salukis for the show ring). THE SIMPLE FACT IS THAT GOING BACK ON WHERE SUCH A COAT CAME FROM YOU WILL GET DIFFE

    IF THE DOG THROW`S EVEN 1 PUP THAT IS A NOTEABLE SUCCESS FROM EACH LITTER, IT WILL BECOME A POPULAR STUD.

    ME??? HATE THE THING`S. YOU WILL FIND A SIMILAR POST WAS PULLED LAST WK ON THE "loose cat meet`s loose dog issue"

    LIFE IS VERY DIFFERENT UP THERE, MUCH MORE LAID BACK & JOBS ARE NOT EASY TO COME BY. WILL TAKE YOU A WHILE TO BE ACCEPTED BY THE LOCALS WITH YOU COMING FROM OUTSIDE & THE SOUTH, DONT GO BELIEVING IT IS SOME SORT OF MECCA FOR FREE RANGE HUNTING EITHER. SUCH AREAS ARE HOWEVER NOT SUBJECT TO ALL THE NEGATIVES LIVING IN BUILT UP AREAS SUFFER FROM & TIME AWAY TO CHILL OUT IS VALUED

    IF YOU KEEP BREEDING LURCHER TO LURCHER YOU GET REGRESSION & LOSE SHARPNESS & PACE. COL TED WALSH STATED THIS YEARS AGO THAT YOU NEEDED TO BREED IN PURE SIGHTHOUND EVERY FEW GENERATIONS. YOU WILL SEE MORE OF THIS AS THE LURCHER GENE POOL DIMINISHES UNDER CURRENT LEGISLATION

    YEAH I KNOW D, U TOOK THE LITTER TO REAR. CRUISE X SEAGULL STASHING?? I WOULD HAVE LOST A BET THERE
  17. optimus
    THEY WERE OFTEN FOR SALE IN PAST YEARS, MY OWN THOUGHTS ARE THAT THOSE LOOKING FOR TERRIER ATTRIBUTES TURNED MORE TO THE BULL CROSSE`S.... I OFTEN FANCIED GETTING A DECENT ROUGH COATED 3/4 1/4BEDLINGTON BITCH TO BREED WITH MY MATES VERY GOOD SALUKI/ GREY, 1/2 CROSS DOG. SADLY THAT PLAN NEVER CAME TOGETHER

    I BOUGHT IN AN ADULT HARDBLOOD BITCH FROM CASINO LINES FOR BREEDING PURPOSES. NEVER BEEN HUNTED, BUT WHAT A NOSE SHE HAD ON HER, HAD I REARED HER FOR FIELD NOT TRACK SHE WOULD HAVE MADE A HANDY BITCH. WOULD HEAD FOR THE WOODS & COVER TO HUNT EVERYTIME I TOOK HER OUT

  20. optimus
    THEY WERE A POPULAR CROSS AROUND HERE IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND. GENERALY USED AS ALL ROUNDER TYPES. SOME THREW SMOOTH SOME ROUGHER COATED. MOST POPULAR GRIPE I HEARD WAS "too much hound & too many injuries" AS YOU FIND WITH MANY 3/4 BREDS.. WILL HAVE A LOOK FOR SOME PHOTOS BUT HERES TWO 3/4 WHIPPET 1/4 BEDLINGTONS JUST NOW

    seen kizzy run loads when cn had her seen her run black and kill 3s 4s and teh odd 2s. the man behind the dog has a lot to do with things.....ive seen a lot of decent dogs ruined by bad handlers IF I REMEMBER RIGHT CRAIG N OWNED THE BITCH THEN SOLD HER TO M Q. C N PUT A LOT OF TIME IN TO CONDITIONING THE BITCH & KEEPING HER AT PEAK FITNESS & I SAW HER RUN WELL ON TAPE AT NOONYS. SUCH BREEDING NEEDED STRICT EXERCISE TO KEEP THE DOG AT ITS BEST & C N IS CERTAINLY A MAN NOTED AS A GOOD HANDLER & STOCKMAN THAT GOT THE BEST FROM HIS DOGS. I REMEMBER BOLIO REARING HER LITTE

    In alot of ways I'd say you are correct. You can up your odds though by taking on pups or dogs whose momma and daddy were rockstars. dan as we have seen over the years of lurchers and bulldogs the parents that are rockstars dont throu rockstars if they do very rare i had a old dog that when bred to bitchs i allways looked for a white pup because his g g granfather was white so alot of the time they miss agenration just my view and we have seen a lot of freaks WILLOW I DONT DOUBT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, BUT "BREEDING FROM ROCKSTARS" HAS PROVEN TO BE THE BEST OPTION. THERE HAVE
