I had one and it was the exactly same

 

there was a guy on one of the fb pages I’m on that crossed his to a wheaten and the resulting pups look proper George Newcombe type… I always thought wheaten was the way to go to restore the Beddy as a ground dog, some might be a little big but JMO

I don't think the Bedlington was ever bred for just a earth dog but more of a all round vermin killer and get something for the pot,

I'd likee to try one for mooching and ratting or breed my bushing/ratting terrier across one

Probably find most are used for mooching about bushing ,ratting and ferreting etc rather than earth dogs and for producing lurchers ,I'd rather use a busher than a earth dog to produce a runner but we all have different opinions

My old bedy whippet was bred from earth dog and she pain in the arse for dropping in places and it's not what I need and she became a head ache,she was given to a lad who gave her the work she lived for .

She was only small ,maybe 16/17 tts
