  1. Real nice bitch you got there lurcher work. Atb
  2. Sounds like its coming on well, and a very handy size too. Atb
  3. Top ones a great picture pal, hows the pups out of her coming on?
  4. Ive said it before davie, tess is a belter
  5. My 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy bitch is a little cracker shes nearly 10 months old and learning her trade. Definitely the easiest dog to train that ive had shes 20" tts, had a couple on the lamp with her but id say daytime is where shes most useful. She fly through cover with my terrier and got the pace to follow up in the open. All the beddy xs ive seen have been useful. Atb Moorside
  6. I gifted a terrier pup to a friend of a friend who I was told was a really good lad whod had some bad luck. I would never do it again unless i knew the lad really really well. I wont go into it on here but its safe to say hes put me right off doing good turns
  7. Fair play to you raw, the bloke who bred my little beddyx bitch has been in contact with me plenty since I had her and has been good enough to invite me down a couple of times. Its that kind of thing that sets dogmen and men with dogs apart imo.
  8. Its a nice sturdy looking dog. Atb
  9. Looks a nice pup raw, how old is he?
  10. Appearance does matter if you want permission on places fact.
  11. I started a thread along these lines a while back, fbook hunting groups are for 18 yr olds banging on invariably about how there bullx is 100% single handed on everything. Then a couple of weeks later its for sale for 150 quid or would swap for a fecking playstation lol.
  12. Both look well pal, and great pics too. Atb
  13. Lads hunting throughout the year doesnt help
  14. Some cracking animals on this thread. Atb
  15. I have to say ive seen northernlites beddy xs and there coats are spot on
  16. In terriers I prefer the tight wirey coat but lurchers smooth coats are my preference to be honest
  17. Those small supermarket milk bottles at this age could sicken her pal.
  18. Im a fan, got a 10 month old bitch here with a dash of beddy (1/4) she looks just like a pure whippet couldnt ask for a better temperament in a dog.
  19. The old beddys didnt carry the soft wooly coat thats on a lot today, but id say most terriers that were up on the leg would have been in the mix. I doubt folk were too fussed what the terrier would have been classed as irish, fox , fell, or bedlington as long as it worked to the standard required. Irish type terriers played a big role in the development of a lot of terrier breeding in the fells and Manchester area from what ive heard
  20. I was under the impression that whippets had been bred originally by breeding greyhounds with various terrier types. I think its quite safe to say bedlington bloods in the mix but when you see old pics of hunt terriers from the turn of the 1900's they look so different from their modern counterparts it would be hard to say. Ive seen pics of an old strain of beddy bred by a chap from Cumbria called Tommy Dobson and theyre a far cry from whats about today.
  21. Seeing the old photos is really interesting id no idea that wirey coats regularly occured in some lines. But I suppose the use of terrier blood would account for this
