whippet x bedlington, rats?

[man o kent 269]

Mornin all, new to hunting, and my first topic on this part of the forum. Just wondering if beddyX where siutable for ratting as well as rabbits? I wont be doing masses, and i have a little patt bitch already who loves to mark rabbit burrows for me. Just starting out, building a little team, and wondered what your thoughts were? Cheers all!

theres a ratting dvd out i watched years ago. i think its albert at the chicken farm or something, theres a beddy whippet on there that is mustard

I know some guys on here use whippets for ratting, apparently they are pretty good at it! I think all terriers including Beddies will always be up for a bit of ratting so I imagine a cross would be just as good. Is this what you are planning to take when we go out? I had better get my springer up to speed. lol.

Thought i could borrow my mates rottie Pat, hes got a delicate touch, and a real taste for flesh

If she's willing mate, let her get in there. vaccines cover lepto, but really dogs build up their own immunity to the local strains.

 

All my dogs will take rats if they get chance, never had any issues beyond odd bite to nose, an terriers love ratting

I think these type of dogs are ideal for ratting. My mate had a Fell/Whip 1stx and a Beddy/Gh 1stx.

 

Theses dogs showed all the terreirs up on days out any bolters they got first, Them ones that bolt too far infront for the terreirs too catch where soon scopped up quick style. Lighting fast reactions and quick killers and on too the next. A great addition too any rat pack IMO

Best Ratter i have seen, she ratted with Lakeys, pats and Russel's, hated Rats with a vengeance, and she would take the most Rats.

Some of the best ratters i,ve seen were raceing whippets, if you add a bit of beddy to the mix i would think it should excell at rats , buster.
