Sounds to me like a good beddy/whippet will do the job your looking for, have you talked to people on the working bedlington forum.... there's also a few on there with 3/4 bedlington 1/4 whippets. http://www.workingbedlington.co.uk/index.php

Collie/greyhound X whippet or whippet/bedlington x whippet

Have you got any pics of the springer/whippet....thanks

TOO funny

Guess that's Cleared that up about ' don't mix border and beardie as you will get a shite lurcher? Lol Old (reds) a good en mate ain't he Chris I know hancock gets some stick, but the beardie border i had from him years ago really hit the mark, it just came so natural to him, didnt realise what a good dog he was until i had to replace him.....so laid back at home as well.

I personally like a dash of beardie as well as border in the mix. Where i hunt there isnt a great deal of game and i have found that some border collie lurchers can become board and find something else to do, where as a touch of beardie seems to do wonders and sort of give them the drive to look for a scent. In saying that it may be something that is particular to certain lines of collies, because some pure working collies still hunt hard for a scent when there isnt much about, when others would sooner pic up a stick and play with it. Some border collies certainly have more drive to find scen

What a cracker, nice deep chest.

Lovely, how tall?

Whippets or lurcher, find one thats been well bred and you'll go far wrong if entered right. If i had to pick i would go lurcher every time. I prefer a lurcher with a good dense waterproof coat and skin that doesn't need stitching too often. I'm not too keen on a lot of these tall whippets, i much prefer the smaller ones around 18 -20 inch, these tend to run and turn much better. Lots of pedlers in the whippet game, so be careful.

Lovely...good for you, im sure you know what your doing, i knew somebody would piss on your parade. Really gets on my tits when people start ranting on thinking they know better when they've only been in the game two minutes.

Hard work catching them milky does... keep at it.

Dont trust your other dog with your pup, end of. Like you said, eyes like a hawk. All dogs take differently to a pups, like mally i find a good size cage invaluable. Other than that just use your own judgement. Enjoy.

Dont think he would breed from rubbish,, and he still breeds kelpie lurchers...serious dog bloke, pointless knocking him.

Good advice

I have had hancock dogs, one great one good, after these two i decided to look else where and get a worker to worker lurcher. I dont like the all idea of puppy farming, but i have changed my views some what after recently looking for a puppy. I still dont agree with puppy farming, but on the other hand 90% of everybody else i encountered that were breeding litters didnt have a clue what they were breeding from or what they were doing. I would have another, but if i knew somebody well that was breeding worker to worker i would have one of these as my first choice.
