UNFIT 0 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 not knocking bedo whippets but if its your only dog that you will have for a long time id go for 3/4 grey 1/4 bedo cause it will have just as good a temprament with the kids but will catch alot more than just rabbits which you will soon get bored of if thats all your dog can catch!! yis rob i have experience with both first x for me. and ive never seen the big deal about a bedlington whippet anyone worked one hard how do they fair in the right hands, BRILLIANT,as some on here can back up this statement. .
