sh 08 17 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 The thing is mate why drop yourself in sh#t on an open forum. i no of a few realy tidy bedlingtons working well. People are to afraid to announce what they have had and whith what nowadays for fear of a knock at the door. Just my opinion mate. Good subject though Quote Link to post
coco 261 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 like myself there are people out there are working them in the ground for some serious work go to working bedlingtons site Quote Link to post
bosco 3 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 (edited) will do cheers lad. Was thinking they are known for their prey drive and good noses as why a lot of lurcher men breed them so was thinkin if you crossed them to bring down their size with the right proven workin bitch they mite throw out a decent terrier. its only an opinion Edited December 20, 2009 by bosco Quote Link to post

Mr Hunter 30 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 maybe this 2 a are just poor dogs but you never know, going to watch this topic tho see what happens, wouldnt mind a beddy if they are any good They look more like show stuff rather than working lines.I have seen a few good Bedlingtons but only for work on top as all too big for ground work Quote Link to post
Mossberg12 114 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 well i bet that video has got everyone rushing to get a beddie!! there are dogs out there that are small enough for earthwork.ive never owned a beddie more than 15 tts.the breeds not in too good a shape cause people will breed out of dogs like on youtube and advertise them as working bedlingtons...... these dogs can and will work too ground if the size can be kept down through selective breeding and opportunity.mike Quote Link to post
