Beddy-Poacher 30 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I have always been a fan of bedlingtons and were wondering what they are like pre-ban on fox and badger? The majority i've seen look too big to get to ground comfortably, is there any small bred line working bedlingtons still about? thanks. Quote Link to post

morton 5,368 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 There,s a few lads about now breeding Beddy,s back to working type,don,t get confused with K.C. stuff,would you class a K.C. Lakeland as a working type?.The gene pool is not as widespread as it is for Lakeys,russels and fells,but it is slowly increasing.There is an awful lot of people about with alleged workers,of all breeds and types.

fenman1# 724 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 i got a bedlington dog 3 days ago hes 2 years old, im not messing he was in such a bad state his whole coat was matted, he had around 200 ticks and small patches of mange on his legs and starving with the hunger, the fella said the dogs going to ground now so he doesnt want him, so i went to see the dog and i paid 200 euro for him but i had to take the dog i wouldnt normally take a dog in bad condition but i felt sorry for him he had ticks on his eye lids and every other place you could think of, il post a picture later and then il post another in a few months to show ye the change, atb and happy hunting fen...
