The only thing is the borders aren't as leggy as the bedlingtons, not sure what size they'd make. like the borders temperament and a far superior coat to a beddy. but a beddy for me speed wise.height agility and speaking in general the beddy may have the better nose.

bigdaz 688 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 There's a litter on epupz,,or preloved,, Think the Dam is border/lakie x whipp, ,, and the sire pure whipp There's a litter on epupz,,or preloved,, Think the Dam is border/lakie x whipp, ,, and the sire pure whipp Might be well off the mark, but, they sound like born yappers. Probably the main reason terrier crosses, bedlingtons aside, aren't more popular is the risk of yapping progeny. Quote Link to post

The worst I ever heard yap was a beddyxwhippet are whippets in general silent. never seen 1 work in 20 odd years. but keep hearing and reading even on the whippet forum that there a fair few yappers within the breed.
