DIGZY 4 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 good thread this lads plenty of pages to read through Quote Link to post
TOPPER 1,809 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 BRL its a well known fact that bedlington blood was added to pats and lakie/fells now and then you will see one with a curly top knot and hare type feet you get the odd throw back spring up now and then that has a lot of bedlington traits Quote Link to post
swanseajack 227 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I heard/read somewhere that the bedlington terrier has the hardest bit of all the earthdogs, now I would have to be clear i am making a comparison to Jack Russels, Lakelands, Fells, Patterdales not Staffs or Strong Terriers. I would think this was to do with the job the Bedlington evolved to do which was to despatch a fox ran that was in an undiggable place. Also I have read that it used to be a tactic of the old fell breeders that when they noticed a drop in hardness in their lines they would infuse some bedlington blood. Can any of the Bedlington breeders confirm or dispell these things. There are a lot of Myth and legends surrounding Bedlingtons, there's a lot of history that has been written about them, truth is today, Bedlingtons as a whole are a far cry from what they originally were... a good 'hard' working bedlington is very difficult to find, a 100% genuine digging bedlington dog that I would use for stud is a myth.. I have yet to see one.. and haven't seen one in the last 10 years.. I hoped to find one through this site... I started the thread back in 2005 and am still looking.. I have failed myself on breeding a good 100% digging type... a few of mine have gone on to others and are working.. I've recently lost Tag due to him not winning and not liking it, digging lads will know what I mean, Coco needs bringing on by someone with more patience than I have, he's a tad nervous and spooky around strange dogs, that's no good to me as I work with a pack of foxhounds... he's gone to a lad of here who I know will spend time and effort with him, hopefully he will turn out a good digging dog, he goes to ground now at 8 months old and has an exceptional nose, maybe by the middle of next season we might see some good results.. So, at this moment I have Milly (retired) and the two pups as pictured above, both seem very forward, the bitch pup more so, at times being a fecking nuisance as she is into everything and nothing phases her.. fingers crossed for another 2 years... Bedlingtons... pah.. who'd have em !!! Oh, and if anyone knows of a good DIGGING dog that is 100% and has a couple of seasons under him, let us know.. I won't hold my breath though Quote Link to post
