chartpolski 23,532 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 There was a pic of one on here a while back. It looked exactly what you would imagine a Border x Whippet would look like. Smart little dog. Cheers. Quote Link to post
northern lad 2,292 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Cant for the life of me understand why this cross isnt more popular what does a bedlington bring to the table that a border doesnt,presumably the size may come down a little,but the coat would more than compensate...

Country Joe 1,411 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 A few Bedlingtons are more leggy than other terriers, so their conformation compliments the Whippet. The cross usually has a good nose, speed to take rabbits in the open. And will work cover, this cross has been popular for years Quote Link to post

TonyOrmy 128 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 ive had a wippit lakland years ago and hand on me hart that little bitch ,was special ,never lamped her just used her as you would a terrier and then there is me mates beddlington x wippit who past last year with old age was a real thing on the lamp i used 2 call it a freek of nature so my choice would be wippit x terrier day time and the beddy x wippit on the lamp Quote Link to post
northern lad 2,292 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Dont get me wrong Im a big fan of beddies and beddy lurchers,the working bedlindtons we used years ago were only a shade bigger than a border,it was these I had in mind not the 16/18 tts beddies you see nowadays Quote Link to post
obi2 239 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Can someone stick the pic up again please, I can't find it. I thought about this cross aswell. Iv got a border thtmats quite a strong build about it and wondered what the offspring would be like put to a good size whippet or small greyhound. I think they would be handy addition to a pack.
