ferreting dog

[lawrence 657]

all the different types seem to be covered apart from the ferreters dog, i hoping to lay my hands on a bedlington x greyhound first cross in the near future,so thats my choice, but just out of curiousity which cross would members go for ?

wipet grerhounds r good

I use pure kelpies but I'd have to admit that although they're virtually indestructible and have amazing noses and are very biddable with a great attention span, they're not that good at catching the ones that run. It's horses for courses, or in my case; kelpies for not coursing!

once had the pleasure of seeing a whippet/ghd x labrador

ferreting it was outstanding at its job well trained

not seen this cross since it was in the early eighties

My beddy/whippet is 22" TTS.

 

There's not much difference in height between the beddy/whippets & beddy/greys I've seen TBH, the main difference has been the beddy/greys have had longer backs.

3/4 whippet 1/4 bedlington would be my choice .

Well Lawrence, this bitch below was very good from young a few years ago, she was mainly whippet with a touch of collie id say.

I dont think we will ever see the best cross for ferreting, gooduns will keep cropping up no matter what cross. Sometimes its how they are brought on and how much they do! I have been lucky enough to see most crossese work with the ferrets to good efect! Here are my two on top of a bury and they are very mongrelly but with enough Collie in them, they suit me!
