Why do folk always say beddy x whippet? Most of them have never worked them, but just repeat it, because that's whats always said is a good ferreting dog. They can be good, but can also be very limited. A good collie x grey is probably a better bet for 'all round' ferreting, or pure whippet or 1/4 beddy at most. Just my opinion, but seen lots of very small half x beddy / whips, which were limited by their stature.

It's that same old mantra, more than likely originating from a book I think the terrier cross have limitations when rabbiting also, and I have seen a few in the field.

Personally I would not be to concerned with the breeding specifics as a priority and go for two dogs doing the business However a medium sized strong pastoral based lurcher would be more to my taste.

1/4 collie 3/4 whippet

I have 3 type's that i would prefer..Pure Whippet being one and i don't see the point in crossing a whippet with anything else other than a greyhound as you will loose the speed straight away..other's i have seen and would prefer are lurcher x lurcher and collie x's..with the last two i mentioned i believe are more versatile in general than many other breed's..
