Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 There's cover..and there's tite ass bushers..bramble.. A bigger dog is never gonna be as good as a smaller one..treat ya self to a nice terrier or x and a whip to wait for the bolts..lol Couldn't agree more. Can't see a beddy whippet getting where my little Plummer gets. But would be happy to be proved wrong. She flies through the tightest of bramble. 1 Quote Link to post
crowsnest 55 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 my beddy xwhip was brilliant working cover, bushing,and had a nose like a hound, which was her undoing sadly,as i said on here befor , picked up a scent or pushed something out, it went across a main road and so did she, end of,and we were a fair way from the road, she would follow a scent a very long way.

stevo79 569 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I just think if you want to do a bit of everything the beddy whippet is the perfect dog. Imo? 1 Quote Link to post
harvey88 40 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Ive seen a first x beddy whippet bitch 18tts work bramble just as good as any other bushing dogs ive seen. 1 Quote Link to post
Snifferboy 659 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 My 1st x beddy whip works well in cover when she knows/thinks there is something there, but would be outclassed by a good spaniel x terrier any day! Great little dogs, just depends how much you want to catch and how much you want to chase... 1 Quote Link to post
harvey88 40 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Never seen a spaniel x terrier work, wouldnt mind seen one go to see what they can do that a good spaniel or terrier cant. Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Any pics of thay beddy X whippet Harvey? Would be very surprised if it could get in the tight bramble that my terrier gets in. But I aren't saying it can't be done and would love to see it. 1 Quote Link to post
harvey88 40 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I havent got any pics gaz wasnt my dog mate. It would crouch low like a terrier does taking some of its height away if that makes sense. With it been quite racy when it got down low you would be suprised the gaps it would push through.

The facts are that a small lurcher may be as keen to bush and thrash about as a terrier,only one of them will get through thick cover,the other will try its best. 1 Quote Link to post

I never once said that the beddy x whippet was as good as a terrier through thick cover, thats why i own terriers and not beddy x whippets. What i was saying was the beddy x whippet i saw would get through it maybe a bit slower and at the expense of a few skin tears ears etc but in the end she got the job done just as well as any other bushing dog ive seen.

It would not get the job done as well then would it ?,not having a knock mucker just pointing out a basic bushing fact,we all meet in the middle at times.Happy hunting. Quote Link to post

As long as the quarry is flushed thats job done, be it in 30 seconds by a smaller dog or 50 seconds by a larger dog the job is done either way. Quote Link to post

Im not going to attempt to learn you how to boil an egg mucker, a rapid follow and flush over a slower follow and slower flush,is often the difference needed betwixt chase and capture,im all for the hunt and chase,at times i wish the mutts to engage,something they are more prone to do if better equipped to do so,20 seconds difference is not a time i could live with. 1 Quote Link to post
