  1. I mentioned the dogs height to show a point,not all Bedlingtons are bred from big and throw such,catching hares on a moor was to show another point about their versatility,nothing more.Plus it was me that had a terrier backed up by another,another point is i was not there,my lad,a youngster at the time was out with a supposed more experienced terrierman that released his own dog after the Beddy had entered.The biggest threat to the Bedlington as a grafter is the nuggets that breed some of them,the next is the nuggets that see the Bedlington as the whipping boy of the terrier world based on the

  3. totally agree with that quote these patterdales have come from somewhere and I'm sure the northern terriers had a big impact in producing them the big so called bedlingtons you see around today are throw backs to gypsy type lurchers mute good for poaching they must have put whippet blood in the mix for speed bedlington terriers should be around 15 tts but you see some a lot bigger and real heavy types atb
  4. whatever who knows who the bedlington as a working terrier is as hard to find as rocking horse shit but there's plenty of good hybrids bred the [BANNED TEXT] size for a terriers job and that's earth work and the lads the lads that keep them got there own little circle to keep them alive people call them what they like but most are not bedlingtons there cross breds atb
  5. bedlingtons are fine mate but you've got to keep them in mind to do a terriers job ie work below ground if they can't do that you may as well get a cocker or spanial to do your bushing work the hybrid as a lot more of a success story in the field that the kc animal sad but that's the hard facts atb
  6. most are bedlington hybrids that people keep for any type of work these days mate the kc bedlingtons are very rare indeed it is a shame about the size but many many years ago we don't know what people have put in them If you got big bedlington hybrids I guess something was put in generations earlier ie whippet blood for one there are some very good bedlington hybrid working below ground but you got to do your homework on the line there bred from there's some good ones bred out of crap so be aware atb

  9. because there on a quest to replicate an old time bedlington of yesterday year mate and trust me you mite have the odd kc throw back that works below ground but most that work are bedlington hybrids and that's what they should be called they ain't bedlingtons they're bedlington crosses but there's glory hunters out there who get money out of any new gimmick atb

  15. I always thought that j Holden was a good honest bloke so if Morton knows different he should speak up he's had bedlingtons for over 30 years so he must know or come across many granitor bedlingtons in his time atb
