So if i was to buy one would it be better to have the whippet as the bitch or the bedlington? Just there are two differences of opinion in the thread. Any ideas, also how do the bed/whip x bed/whip fa

Something ive often thought about buying, but most people seem to say you are better off with a whippet, or buying a bed/greyhound. Still fancy one though, although i have heard they can struggle to keep up with the rabbit. May possibly get 3/4 whippet 1/4 bed.

if it was my only dog then no way would i get one but to add to my three as an out an out daytime bushing dog it would be perfect :thumbs:

If I could choose to add that little bit extra of one trait to my 50/50 cross, it would be a touch more top end speed. :yes: Don't get me wrong, he's got no problem keeping up with a rabbit on the lamp, and makes up for the slight lack of top end with stamina, agility & strength of will. I just wish he had a touch more sighthound in his make up. :thumbs:

It has always been my aim to try and replicate my old lurcher Scooby Bed x Whippet,searched awhile for a good whippet the one I bought was given a fair crack of the whip,but alas I would not have used him at the start of my line as I did not rate him high enough,so he was found a home which suited him a bit of ferreting with some one who has retired.

I then acquired a beddy bitch pup she is dynamite just what You want from a beddy,I aint in no hurry but when the right stud dog comes around,I will be looking for a national racing champion,thats all this dog wants adding to it is speed.

And the first pup will be for my Grandson who now has the bug.
