Limb 31 Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I keep patterdales, but if I genuinely thought an outcross to another breed would improve the working ability of the dogs I keep i'd do it, and like you said people can call them mongrels if they want. 2 Quote Link to post

I started this thread because I work Bedlingtons or Bedlington Hybrids or Mongrels, care I not what others might call them. If the discussion of what to call them needs to escalate perhaps another thread shoud be started and the same question asked, I'am sure it has been discussed and argued over at length before and to quote Hybred (on my first page) 'it gets quite boring'. Answer it here if need be, but I'd rather read and dicuss workers and see pics of workers be it purebred or crossbred. CHEERS Limb, I'm glad someone not from the Bedlington scene answered. 1 Quote Link to post
Dave R 3 Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 No problem Lawrence would have done it myself but still a bit green on the puter, I had to have jade put down in may 2001 as she killed my old lurcher bitch in front of the wife and grandkids, It broke my heart losing two dogs at once but jade had become a liability she cost me a small fortune at the vets having other peoples mutts mended and i could not find no one to take her as most of my muckers new about her temper.

borderterrier 0 Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I really don't think i matters what "TYPE" of terrier you have so long as it does the job. Variety is the spice of life, so I've been told, and long my it remain so. It'll be a sad day if everyone is walking around with identical terriers. The following pics are taken from a book printed in 1876, thought you might find them interesting. What does stand out like a sore thumb in the rest of the book, is, in the several accounts given of hunting otter and fox, all in the Borders the only terrier being used is the Dandie Dinmont.
