[pablo esc 1,598]

Seen and heard of some .bedlingtons in England years ago but I've never seen one work myself . I saw beddy whippets work about thirty years ago but the was rabbit dogs and was in a Bobbery pack. I had a first cross beddy greyhound ,kes , in the ninetees for about a year . he took fox and had a good few owners

Won't ya pal us3 a hard coated fell type terrier I seen a couple of this cross and by f**k they were good little dogs with nice dense coats

Its the height and length of leg that's required in a beddy whippet cross as well as the minerals .Keep looking mate as there will be one over there somewhere that's up to it ,they are all just men not gods lol.

Both fell x whippets I've seen had no less length of leg than most baddie crosses at around 19 / 20 inch

Yah defo find one somewhere here FD but it's the equivalent of getting a good Kerry Blue in england it will be hard.

I've always wondered why the fell terrier is not used over whippets instead on the poodle hybrid known as the bedlington.

The mother of my first every lurcher was a black fell X whippet and she looked just like a black whippet.

 

And FD we mightn't be Gods but we do tend to be realistic when it comes to raising pups that have a good chance of making the grade.

Hence the reason Beddies, Plummers and Borders are scarce in Ireland.

Am no expert when it comes to lurchers kept a few over the years mostly deerhound & collie crosses. When I was young there was always some Irish terrier lurchers knocking about, never saw 1 work. Dont see many now. Probably speaks volumes but were they any good? If so would your pal not be better off with this cross...throw same attributes as a beddie but with more fire in the belly if he wanted to do a bit of foxing?

Some decent replies lads, he said if he can't get beddie blood he will look at a border cross

A wheaten would be ideal or quicker still a 1st cross wheaten/greyhound which would have good coat and normally don't throw overly tall 22 inch average. Take all game too but tend to crunch the rabbits.

Wouldn't the wheaton be a bit heavy for a whippet to soak up though ok to a greyhound like bull blood put to whippet a lot of wastage in a litter unless it a smallish apt
