keepitcovert 842 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Because despite what you hear from the armchair experts on here they can do the buisness ,only small dogs, unless crossed to greys , but hearts like lions. Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 if beddlingtons as a working breed are so messed up then why does the beddlington cross still seem to be as popular as ever Possibly because that type of lurcher suits the owners hunting requirements,also some people are willing to put the time and trouble into sourcing stock from a working background with a proven history in the field.Others will take whatever comes easiest and complain about the end result.

Define small? My beddy/whippet is 22" It seems they vary in size a fair bit. Quote Link to post
Snifferboy 659 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm bewildered here.... I haven't heard of a messed up beddy and my lurcher with beddy in her is fine for me. The other's that I know are doing their jobs as expected, but I don't know any show beddy's! Quote Link to post

big andy 62 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 One of the best dogs I ever had was bed/whippet collie/grey 24" at the shoulder, game as owt and never gave up. Quote Link to post

Define small? My beddy/whippet is 22" It seems they vary in size a fair bit. Was really talking about first crosses mate, my old bitch was23 tts second cross though and game as hell. What dog doesnt get ruined when the show crowd get their hands on them, Still enough decent beddys around though. Quote Link to post
