chartpolski 24,133 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Why ? What would this cross be used for ? Cheers. Quote Link to post
Moll. 1,770 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I can remember years ago in Pegswood Charty, seeing what could only have been a bull crossed with either a beddy or a poodle. It looked 100% like a bull but has this weird curly silver coat Quote Link to post

j1985 1,984 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Like I said Polish greyhound just curious, you could use one to lick peanut butter of your balls I suppose. Moll, that's what got me thinking...the coat that a beddy would bring to a bull whippet. Quote Link to post
Moll. 1,770 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 It was straying next to the chippy (before the bypass)...do you hunt the chippy often Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I saw what looked like a beddy whippet and a rough haired staffy today outside the shop and asked the lad if he worked them, to which he said he did. He said the staffy cross was the result of a staffy getting over his beddy whippet bitch by accident but it has made a decent bushing dog and ferreting dog albeit a little hard mouthed and terrier like in behavior. I think a beddy whippet would be a better all round rabbit dog than this cross. Or a whippet for that matter. Gaz Quote Link to post
Moll. 1,770 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Gaz, I've had several bull x's, and a whippet, and various terriers. But i have yet to see the drive and tenacity in this little staffy x whippet equaled anywhere....and every single person who has seen her has said the same. I know the staffy is the 'wrong shape' for most working activities but imo they have a ton to offer in other aspects Quote Link to post

I know the staffy is the 'wrong shape' for most working activities but imo they have a ton to offer in other aspects I had a staffx whippet up unti last year , and have to agree with Moll , it was a dog that made things happen , great nose and endless stamina and determination put every thing Iv ever owmed in the shade ,a charachter that was a delight to own and I miss her still . 1 Quote Link to post
lawrence 657 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 i have a young bitch here bred that way, sire is one of powells 5/8 3/8 whippet bulls , dam, a bedlington x 3'4 whippet 1/4 greyhound, a nice strong, rough coated pup. she'll be used for ferreting and daytime mooching. 2 Quote Link to post
j1985 1,984 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 That's what I was thinking of, something not too heavy on the bull or the beddy but enough of each to make an impact on the breeding! Quote Link to post
