Dabhand 887 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 If I could find one small enough I would happily take one on-last ones I saw small enough was 10/15 yr ago and belonged to a few lads from Glyn neath way-they were a liver colour and real small,caught them digging one Sunday morning when I was a green keeper-sat down with them and watched them dig a fox with a real handy bitch-their faces were a picture when I told them I don't give a f**k what you digging lads lol,saw them a few more times after that-back then I wasn't big on asking names glad in away as I got to dig the whole course for years myself with no bother.had the first and last digs to a few dogs there happy memories. Atb dcPhoto0276.jpg If you wanted to find one you could,thats the biggest problem that the Beddy as a worker encounters,people that do not have the genuine zest to source the right types when its easier to source a 2nd or 3rd rate un,especially as they are the majority bred.For every litter of WORKING Bedlingtons bred there are countless litters that are bred to serve market forces only and they all are bred from workers?,bollox.That doesnt go just for Bedlingtons morton other breeds are going the same way unfortunately 1 Quote Link to post

dillydog 8,462 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 That's the thing, the emptiest can makes the loudest noise. You'll have to shout a bit louder and source proper digging lads to help in the working of stock.

dillydog 8,462 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Even in the black dog scene it's hard to source the right lads, don't let it get you down, just carry on regardless, your obviously doing something right Quote Link to post

dillydog 8,462 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Some of us have had enough of trying to help others and only care about what's in our own backyard. It's not about digging lads doing their homework, it's more about you doing yours and placing pups in digging lads yards. Good luck with that one, I can count on one hand the lads that have done right by me and the line of dogs 4 Quote Link to post

leethedog 3,071 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 As a one season digger I am very lucky to have been gifted a pup and have the loan of a tested worker in my opinion not knowing much and being honest about it has helped me with this some times I think people who have their own ideas are the wrong people to place pups with as most I've found out know all there is to know! Where as a beginer relies on breeders advise and knowlage 4 Quote Link to post
Daniel cain 44,997 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Morton I have black dogs that know the job-I don't see where the belittling comes from?-you have a very high opinion of yourself? you seem to have a big chip on your shoulders imo-sure I could wade through the dreamers and bullshitters f**k me this site got loads and ive met more than my fair share before and after the invention of the www.same as I could go lick arse for the so called best black dogs-but I don't muff anyone's arse not to go digging f**k all -even if they got what I think I might want/need im self sufficient pal. I'm no fool and won't waste my time when I have dogs here I've bred myself for the job.I have an interest in beddys as my Oldman and uncles had them late 60s up until the 80s-I asked my Oldman about them he said you won't find a good un these days stick to your black dogs son,which my Oldman got for me as it goes ,and I still have dogs bred down from the first two,surely if you had their best interest at heart you would be finding the work for them with digging men? I find you a strange sort morton-each to their own.atb dc Quote Link to post
stop.end 4,079 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 anyone who thinks the bedlington was ever a breed...has been living in the romanticism's that terrier work just doesn't need....the bedlington the fell the Russell the lakey and now the patt are not and have never been breeds! there all terrier types, and Morton your sounding like you have something special when in reality you have a type you call bedlington, which is just doing what every other type with the word terrier at the end should be doing! which is going to ground and enjoy working fox! Only terrier men understand that a terrier is for work, and work to a terrier is going to ground to either evict its quarry or stay there doing a proper shift.... and making sure the jobs completed...the job of the man who works terriers correctly and for the future not the NOW is to make sure he breeds correctly puts them out to walk correctly, and sometimes that just cant be done between mates they have to go to yards were making not breaking them is there key to survival. if your as confident about them as you sound put some out to walk in decent yards...get some feed back... 4 Quote Link to post
