reddawn 2,173 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 iv seen a few beddy whippets out an i was not impressed, all dogs come from diffrent litters, they are no better than a whippet like cp says, i agree 100%, an anybody that says diffrent is either kennel blind or not seen enuff dogs out imo, beddy x grey on the other hand is a very handy dog if you get a good 1 an put the effort in, but in reply to the guys question, i dont think a beddy whippet will anything ye collie/whip cant, thats my two penneth worth 2 Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yes there was a question there, im not out for a bitchy debate.... Why should debate be "bitchy" ? As I said, I love Beddy's and Whippets; but don't see the point in the cross ! I think the Beddy/Grey cross is far better, and would definately think of using a 1st cross Beddy/Grey over my 1st cross Deer/Grey. If anyone has a 1st cross Beddy/Whippet that can do a Lurchers job; then great ! But I've never seen one that can do owt bar a bit of ferreting and mooching ! Cheers. I can lamp with mine, but he's not a first cross and is 22" TTS.. What cross is he Malt ? Cheers. He's just 3rd or 4th generation beddy/whippet Chart. My only wish was that there was a bit of greyhound blood in him at times though. He's not that slow but he does lack a bit of top end in the bigger fields. Could do with an injection of brains too, he's thick as f**k! Quote Link to post
chartpolski 24,376 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 i have a beddy whippet and she is just as fast as a pure whippet i had her at raby castle last year an she done the dash thing in 5.1 secs and only done it a coupe of times and the fastest that day was 4.94secs and that was a grew plus you tend to get tougher skin than a pure whippet so not as many cuts mine is 3/4 whip 1/4 beddy 20tts and i only use mine for lamping 2 or 3 times a week she catches just as many as my friends lurchers that are between 24 and 27 inches great little dogs No, you may be very proud of your dog, and I admire you for that, but I'd bring any Whippet I know, and race your dog and beat it !! Your dog's obviously a good dog for you, but please don't say she is as fast as a Whippet, or else we would have Beddy X racing instead of Whippet Racing ! Cheers. 3 Quote Link to post

I'm not knocking these wee dogs... they are full of Vim and Fire.....but they can't do owt their parents can do, (better) ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post
