Working Bedlingtons 2005

[pablo esc 1,598]

I don't know a great lot about the Bedlington, a good terrier man, jc, mentioned when we were getting into hunting, about one he had, that would bolt, and catch on top, burrows and cover, dig to on fox. Wouldn't the have been to mute and hard for the other things? George newcome, had a male dog he held for me, 150. He was four years, and hard. He said it was on the front of a, terrier year books. He seemed a genuine man. I didn't go for it after months because of kennel room, separate. I had male dog's. Would have been a good terrier to see work, versatile

Justa question to the boys who use there beddies for digging . Do you slso use them for work on top ie bushing rabbits and other game or do you think it would affect them as such for eartth work ? Just after opinions atb

The best terrier ive ever owned,she grafted hard until she was into her ninth season,lost vision in one eye because of ash places,lost her sense of smell because of a serious nose injury with a determined fox,she was 9 at the time,i never dug to her,never needed to,she worked on top for years and took up the reins that another 2 terriers of a different sort could never have matched,i used her as a more than useful ferreting companion,an illustrious ratter,a mutt that could find rabbit,fox or bambi on piece work,caught 3 hares off their seat before they had chance to rise and could be entered anywhere and i mean anywhere,then get the job done,ive never seen a terrier that could work rock like she did,id be happy to admit that at least 90% of her graft was on top,The 10% below was possibly more productive than many? terriers see in their lifetime,possibly.This little bitch made me realise how versatile a terrier could be,before i realised it.Everything ive bred since is solely to replicate her,ive come close with some i have now,yet until you no longer have them at your side do you realise how good they possibly where.Possibly why im certainly in the top 1 of the Beddy fan brigade.

Any chance you could put a pic up mate would be nice to see the dog, sounds like a class animal

 

The last 2 seasons ive spent without her at my side makes me realise what class means at times,thankfully i have her grandson and grandaughters,2 generations apart,that are taking up the slack,my lad is convinced that his sapling bitch is as good as her great grandmother,bolted over 12 fox,s in her first real season,pushed literally hundreds out of cover and could find a scent on a basketball,she,s 18 months old and as yet to do it over season after season,he,ll eventually learn.Don,t do pics

Ive reluctantly got rid of one because it needed to be dug to,to often,did,nt suit my hunting lifestyle,my lad as kept its brother that as to be dug to rapidly or the fox is dead,useful mutt at times,yet not my sort.

Can anybody tell me about the Granitor Bedlingtons? I think they may be KC registered, but have heard they are useful for work. I've only cme across the name here and there, but don't know the background or type.

Hello,
Granitor dogs are KC reg and have been around for I would think something like 30 years now. They tend to be small, dogs around 15 inches, bitches 13.5 to 14 inches all with dark coats. The dogs are owned and bred by John Holden in the Manchester area. I have seen 2 or 3 of his dogs work fox and they do not have a reverse gear. I had a dog with Granitor Warrior on both sides of his pedigree, not a great finder in large earths but would draw ever fox he met to ground except his very first one. I am now working a 100% Granitor bitch, 14 inches, blue and tan and she mixes it up abit but luckily does not get damaged like the dog did. There are some photo's of Granitor dogs in 'The Working Bedlington Terrier Year Book 1998' and an article by John in the 1997 edition.
