i've a 3/4 whippet 1/4 bull, she's pretty hardy and does try to work cover but her coat is really thin and often comes off cut, could use a jacket i expected, lovely little dog other wise

Bloke I know works a bull whippet, bushes well, very handy little dog

[Jordb543 9]

anyone else got any pics of these types of lurchers? im currently doing abit of mooching with a plummer/lakeland, just started doing it its going well, gets enough to keep the snakes fed,

 

but i would like a little whirrier to help him out to pick up a few bolters, but would still want it to be able to tear into bushes etc as the terrier does and come out unharmed as he does, also would maybe take it ferreting if i choose to start that

 

not looking to get it anytime soon a few years probably but if my snake collection keeps growing could end up being sooner

Tyla - what's that dog like as a worker? Does it bush and work cover?

 

He's a great worker, works cover well, but not too great at bushing though thick cover due to his size and we have a terrier to do that job and he they work really well together. Ferreting is his forte.

I'm glad you stared this thread. I'm really interested in this little cross and would also like to know If bull/whippets work cover well? And what Terrier is the best to put over a whippet for bushing?

 

I know people say get a spaniel, but would like a little all rounder one day, ratter, busher and maybe catch the odd bunny.

beddy x whioppet

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Beddy/Whippet first cross? Will they bush well? And work cover for bigger lurchers?

[samstorm 34]

My beddy/whippet halfx will do the work of bigger lurchers, hes 22tts, and does what hes asked to, never rreally had him out in a bush, I use him for tha lamp, and to be honest hes a great little pot filler, good bit of stamina fast as hell, jumps out, never looks back, love this wee dog will have him till he dies, hes the perfect dog for me, size is perfect speeds imense, thes dogs are very under estimated on here it gets muy back up when people say there shit, my dog proves em wrong but im not here to beg for a match, dont need to prove my dog, just would love for the sceptics and non believers see him doinghis job, well worth the money to any one who gets one, especially if there his kinda size,

Cheers for a good reply samstorm.

 

I wanted to get a bushing dog next year but might be aswell getting a smaller lurcher with beddy blood.

heres my boys. 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy only 5 months toda.my stafford is a pet but his prey drive is fantastic,he bushes well and marks warrens well,also take him shooting but he dont like letting go....he aint no spaniel but hes a fantastic dog none the less.

the lurcher just stand back looking,young but promising.

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

I like that staffy mate.

 

I also like the look of the 1/4 beddy whips.

 

Ive also considered full beddy or lakey for bushing. Would they still manage to go to ground given the chance though?
