There's a post on the hunting write ups, I think, of beddy whippets.

Theh are usually bought as daytime rabbiting /ratting dogs odd fox being bushed, don't think they will do much more than that without struggling.

Got myself a Beddy whippet x Beddy whippet here and his starting to come on now. Heis recalls spot on he does hunt up a but it doesn't bother me. If it just rabbits your after cracking little dogs imo.

We take one out on the rats with us;

Dont focus on the negatives, look at the virues of the breeding, all crosses have good and bad points..a lot of the bad points are probably built up by people who have never even had one..

I have an old beddy x whippet and in his day one handy dog to have working with terriers on big rock piles marked any thing to ground, loved bushing up an only time he yapped was in cover when close to his game an when broke cover no more yapping, little dogs big hearts.

If you was using it for a all round dog as in bunnies rats and possible bigger quarry what would you chose a full whippet or a whippet X beddy thanks guys

They are sound dogs, versatile.

It's out of a full whippet or a beddy X whippet lol that's basically my question what is the better dog all round a straight whippet or a beddy X whippet thanks

[Chicken_man 1,651]

Comes down to personal preferences I think. Some good dogs from both whippet and beddy/whip.

I wouldnt use this cross for an all rounder myself, but out of your question, whippet x Beddy

[bribri988 141]

Haha ok so pretty even then I personally thought a straight whippet would of been better all round from it been a bit quicker but hey hoe lol

[tank34 2,341]

beddy whippet for me mate not putting whippet down , I'm just a beddy x fan but as a all rounder the beddy greyhound is the dog to go for, more size speed and guts ,but like any x you put the time in you get a good dog sometimes a very good dog

[matt1979 766]

I think I bit of greyhound blood to increase the size and speed a touch would add a lot and get a better all rounder. A real first x beddy whippet would be around 18tts generally and the ones I have seen work did struggle a bit daytime on rabbits. Suppose it depends on the land you hunt but I do think some people underestimate the pace a dog needs on most land even for rabbits, that's obviously if you want a decent catch rate. If your not bothered then I suppose they would be a good little mooching dog, but I runner that lacks pace might get disheartened or frustrated I guess certainly on the land I hunt anyway atb
