stuffkez 6 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Picked this 18month old bitch up for free this weekend previous owner was struggling with her and the poor bitch spent most of her day in a crate. Hardly walked claws needed clipping and feet are still pink but she's eager to please and walks to heel off the lead has excellent recall which is nice as I've only ever had lurchers that are at least 1/2 saluki, she's got a very strong chase instinct to so possible potential and if not she'll keep my Saluki X in shape out of season. The previous owner said she was whippet X bedlington/greyhound, having never had a dog with beddy in it I'm not convinced as I always think of them as rough coated. To me she looks she may have some bull as her head is square like a staffy but Ive never had a bull cross either so any pointers would be appreciated either way shes a little cracker .

the pikey poacher 1,157 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 id say she is what the previos owner said she was can see a lot of whippet in her nice bitch good luck with her 1 Quote Link to post
R.A.W 1,987 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 the ears remind me of my old bitch . so on that and from the body shape i'd say theres collie blood and whippet with a dash of something else more than likely bull but you can't count out the bedlington. the dogs behavior will surely give you an insight to the breeding also.

Country Joe 1,411 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Nice looking Bitch, you should have a lot of fun together, having had beddy crosses for a lot of years, its my opinion there's no Beddy there, but who knows I could be wrong. Quote Link to post
birddog 1,354 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 big ears like a beddy, blue with maybe liver showing through would be a beddy colour, maybe the guy's telling you the truth Quote Link to post

night warrior 178 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 If u are happy with the dog it dont matter whats in it it s what you put in to it work wise what matters from now on good luck hope all works out for u Quote Link to post
Neoleaver 55 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 wouldn't worry about it mate, the only time it might matter is if you breed from her. Even then, what it can do will be alot more important than whats in it. Could be whippet xbeddy gray, could have a dash of collie and/or bull too, seen plenty of smooth beddy x's. good look wi her mate, looks a useful sort. Quote Link to post
