moonlighter 1,164 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 No point mate. Only commenting on what I've seen, the beddy/greys I've seen have been much bigger and stronger than the few beddy/ wippets I've seen. I've never seen a beddy/wippet work though, but I like the beddy/grey but I do prefer a larger dog, but that's just me. Quote Link to post

morton 5,368 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 where would you find a good bedlington to produce a lurcher,seems to be a lot of bedlington cross lurchers about and a working bedlington is unheard off. Not unheard of if you take the time and trouble to source them instead of jumping on the "ive never seen or heard of one,so there cannot possibly be any" bandwagon of ignorance and lack of any real knowledge.Working type Bedlingtons,on the whole are seldom used in lurcher breeding because its easier to source a taller KC bred Beddy from supposed working kennels.With hybrid vigour coming to the fore with this breeding its seldom that a beddy lurcher,even in the wrong kennels,fails to make the grade at some work or another.If i had to id go with Beddy/Greys as they make a more reliable and useful option,i don,t have to and although im a big fan of Beddy,s,i don,t see the point of adding terrier blood to the production of a lurchers. 1 Quote Link to post
