TerrierLad 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 iv seen some cracking dogs on our site, they look the business on rabbits but i think theyre were more than capeable of nailing a fox pre-ban Quote Link to post

Guest SHOT Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Rabbits............thats it...........do it well mind............T What a load of I have known and own a beddy X whippet who takes Charlie boy when she comes across them and my little bitch even tackles the deer she comes across in Essex before the ban of course get your dog up here then id certainly like to see it. you,ll get exceptions in most types but bedlington x whippets are nothing more than rabbit dogs i think one would have to go through a fair few bedlington whippets before finding one like some of the dogs you folk claim to own. having a dog that will have a go at anything are two a penny one doing it regular is something else. when someone wants advice on a cross and is interested in a bit of everthing... no matter how much i like these little dogs i would have to be straight and say go for something a little bigger/taller doesnt have to be a bull cross.. i wouldnt look at a bedlinton whippet unless i was an out n out ferreter.

JollyPoacher 3 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I have a first cross Beddy Whippet "Bess". Good for rabbits, game on hare. But if you want bigger game get a bigger dog. Be honest with what you will be doing with it and what sort of ground you will be hunting and people will give you their best advice. Quote Link to post
