hi all do you think beddy grey are all round lurchers thanks

[lamping-lad 160]

no

[poacher3161 1,766]

No and the only reason is the size factor though i have seen the odd large dog of this breeding that could be classed as a good allrounder.This cross has every thing going for it stamina determination and heart.atb dell

Had a really good one years ago,took everything asked of her but just lacking that top gear,her feet were awful,real terrier feet,but made up for all her flaws with complete focus and determination

i hope this helps you out mate, my dog has had ferrel cats, rats, pheasents, rabbit, hare, fox and a few other things i better not mention.

seen some real uns seen some not so good but that was more down to the lads that owned them

[poacher3161 1,766]

I carnt weigh it up though [bANNED TEXT] lads have f1x beddy greyhounds and then breed them back to whippets [my mates done it twice][bANNED TEXT] out and out allrounders can be produced from this cross [bANNED TEXT] put to larger bred lurchers and proof of this is the start of the merlin & eve bloodlines as the one i had years ago before more saluki was put into them is the double of the beddy cross i have now.atb dell

youl problys get the odd 1 out of the litter thats a big dog but they mostley only grow to 21'' to 23'' but they make the best rabbiting and fox dogs atb

[poacher3161 1,766]

The only fault with some of this cross is T.I.T.S=Two inch to small to make them out and out allrounders.

[Casso 1,261]

Make sure about the parents though,seen some really bad examples of wastage when first crosses have been crossed with lurchers

That is a good point as i would avoid crossing one back to a small type lurcher with lots of other crosses in it as i myself bred two beddy/grey/grey/collie hybreds together and produced brilliant lamping dogs but the bitches were a bit on the small size.atb dell

hi all do you think beddy grey are all round lurchers thanks

no.they have great heart and determination but they wont kill day time hares besides d odd 1.they just lack in speed abit for fox aswell day time.not putting the breed down they are great lamping ferreting and mooching dogs.just not an allround lurcher.

yeah no what you mean i have a beddy whippet collie grey and she only 21n half. does well lamping and an exellent busher but lacks that bit pace for daytime deer and hare.

[steveS.Yorks 161]

The thing about Beddy x's is they are pretty consistent,if the parents are the right sort you arent taking much of a chance with the pups,slightly limited but they arent one of the most popular lurchers for nothing.

 

Better allrounders can be produced by crossing to other types,the best dogs ive ever seen without Saluki blood were a mixture of Beddy/deerhound[supposedly]/greyhound and collie,more 3/4 x's than half x's were used to create them,but this type of breeding is much more hit and miss imo.

[hedz31 1,308]

No they cant do anything special that other crosses cant do,and theres to many people out there putting the wrong type of bedlington in them and ive yet to see a bedlington cross that would draw or take flak when working with terriers there probably is some out there but i wouldnt bother with the cross
