mattyg 1,862 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 well i have 1 of each! my beddy/whippx grey and my wheaten/grey x whipp/grey so both 3/4 crosses more or less. both retrieve fox and are good mooching bushing dogs but for shear prey drive id have to go with the wheaten. it all depend on what you want to do with the offspring really! both are also good lampers with plenty of stamina although chasing a hare for 10mins is a bit beyond them both . i would personaly go for a nice 1st cross wheaton or maybe 3/4 cross for that added bit of speed! but by no means underestimate the humble beddy cross. so to sum up there is no real answer so i'll shut up and go the pub! cheers, matt Quote Link to post

Guest hunterside Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I would go wheaten/grey bull/grey ive seen these type of dogs run on most quarry and they just simply dimolish everything they catch,and all single handed as well,Theres a lad on here chris hickling hes got w/g b/g called jack and this dog is just simply EVIL with quarry,but is bidable enough to work alongside other lurchers and terriers.

I LOST MINE AT THE START OF THE SEASON AND WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY AND GOT A VERY WELL BRED ONE, THATS HOW GOOD THEY ARE, THEY ARE A SPECIALIST DOG THAT TAKES EVERY THING BIG FOR FUN, BUT LIKE PLAYNG RABBITS LIKE A HARE, VERY GOOD AT BOXING THINGS BACK IN THE FIELDS TO PLAY WITH Quote Link to post

WHAT COULD A DOG OF 10 MONTH OLD DO APART FROM RABBITS, IF IT WAS TAKING HARE DEER OR FOX AT THAT AGE THEN YOUR A MUPPET AND KNOW NOWT ABOUT DOGS AND A SURE FIRE WAY OF REARING A JACKER, GET IT RIGHT. LET THE DOG BE A PUPPY MOST LADS WOULDNT EVEN RUN A DOG TILL AT LEAST 12 MONTHS TO 2 YEAR OLD. BUT IF YOU ARE THAT DESPERATE TO CATCH AND KILL THINGS THEN THATS YOUR CHOICE , DOG HASNT MATURED MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY (TENDONS AND MUSCLE NOT HAVING TIME TO DEVELOP) BUT YOU DO IT YOUR WAY AND ILL DO IT MINE Quote Link to post
