nasher1 258 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I have a first cross beddy/whip he's 21tts a very good dog but I think he would be better a couple of inches taller with a extra gear, I think if I could put him over a grey that would be the dog to have. Quote Link to post

sikastag_1 689 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Maybe an inch or so mate look at the knuckle on the front she won't grow much more. I don't know how a half x Beddy can be too heavy set tbh, a half x is a more robust dog than the 3/4 and for this you pay speed wise although a half x is still got a bit pace, a 3/4 the quicker dog but with more speed you pay a bit with robustness. Put a half x Beddy next to a half x wheaten and you'll see what heavy set is lol. 1 Quote Link to post

No offence to the lads that run them. I like them. I just like a fast dog. I don't believe my 3/4 grey 1/4 beddy is lacking anything as regards to being robust. He is tough as old boots. Atb. Gaz.

sikastag_1 689 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I like a fast dog aswell mate I have fast dogs but the wallet doesn't seem to like them as much as I do and for ferreting etc a half x Beddy is spot on, the more greyhound or whippet the more chance of injury, I've no doubt your dogs robust its qtr Beddy and rough coated , but not as much as a half x it'll be a finer animal traveling at more pace, anyway were going off subject lol Quote Link to post

troter58 1,711 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 half cross your losing a gear for a lamping dog and the 3/4 will gives that gear to work its rabbit = more in the bag not rocket science i have ran both and both make great mooching dogs prefer the 3/4 whippet beddy for what i do great to watch all action and they bounce well atb Quote Link to post

arcticgun 4,548 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Howdy people just a quick one getting my boy is first do for ferreting lamping we narrowed it down to a beddy that's what he wants but I never had a whippet cross in 30 years lol and herd a lot of fowk say whippet x whippet greyhound or 3/4 whippet for bit of size and pace so I think my be beddy x greyhound will have more beddy in it but better size and pace 22/24 tts please correct me if am wrong lol Just lost mine today mate, she weren't the most expensive or pretty dog in my kennels, but I reckon she slotted more gear than all the rest put together, for a young lad starting out they superb first dog, do a bit of everything Quote Link to post
