tiger82 43 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 A choice between these three pups. What would you choose and why I haven't kept any of these before so any info please. Quote Link to post
BS40liam 203 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 The chances of getting a good Bedlington or border is almost impossible so me personally I would go for the safer option and go for a Lakeland as a worker BUT! I prefer the look of a Bedlington so if it was just for looks over work then a Bedlington ? Quote Link to post
jharrison_2009 8 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Lakeland out of three for me mate just my opinion what do you want the pup for work ? jh Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 If i wanted a digging dog id only go with the Lakey,if i wanted something more versatile that could also work fox id go the Beddy route,i would,nt discount the Border,as with the other two types source the right stock and they will all work,its the temperament that each type shows that will carry the individuals preference.

TOPPER 1,809 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 it all depends on what you intend doing with it but the main thing is do your homework find the right stock and go from there , ive some good bedlington and ive had some very good lakies and borderlakies but ive never worked a border of my own , the choice is your just do the homework first Quote Link to post
buster gonads 862 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 All three types should work above ground to some sort of standerd, but imo a lakey that works below would be more easy to source than the other two, theres plenty of lakeys that wont be up to the job though no matter what you read on here, try to get out with somone doing the type of work you want yours to do, believe your own eyes not the sales pitch, atb, buster. 1 Quote Link to post

Pernod "nail on the head " well said pernod ... suppose we all like to see a "nice " looking terrier but id rather a pup out of proven workers anyday .. Size is also a big factor for me ..atb sesku 1 Quote Link to post
