Anybody In Ireland Got A Working Beddy Dog? North Or South

[morton 5,368]

If they worked as good as blacks, whites, and reds over here. We would loved to have em.

Ive owned Russels and worked em,Black terriers and worked em,lakey-Fells and worked em and Bedlingtons and also worked them.Ill always have a Lakey at heel,just 1,the only other terriers ill kennel now are Beddy,s and their hybrids and if they could,nt graft id not want their company.The Bedlington because of its versatility makes a better option, as a small lurcher,over any other terrier.The Bedlingtons that are often utilised in lurcher production are seldom known for their working ability,hybrid vigour seems to make up for that and few Beddy lurchers make poor grafting mutts if utilised to their true capabilities.It does not surprise me to find working Bedlingtons scarce over the water,they are scarce enough here,yet ive seen many an advert,from both sides of the water,stating the grafting heritage of the litter,so there is as much blarney over there as here.Ive yet to find any terrier with the versatlity that the Bedlington offers.Anybody willing to shelve their ignorance and ego may well be surprised at what a minority of these pampered poodles have to offer.Sadly the capabilities of the vast majority of Bedlingtons around now are the cause of the scepticism among terrier folk,we know there is a lot of dross bred in other breeds and few breeds now are anywhere as near as honest as they should be,yet the Beddy is so easily dismissed.Again if i was to find a terrier as capable as i find the Beddy id own at least 3.

I can only speak from my experience I have never seen or even heard anybody with a working beddy hear in Erin. That sure don't mean that are no such thing but I can honestly say I have dug in many counties in this country and never even heard as much as a whisper and that's me just been honest but I have heard loads bout other types. It is what it is I suppose.

An awful lot of terrier folk share your sentiments and when its based on honest experience and facts its irrefutable and id be the first to concur with you mucker.I cannot do with the muppets that base their experiences by what they read and hear.I know and freely admit that Honest Working Bedlingtons are less than as common as some would have us believe,the good-uns are few and far between and earn respect in any company,the dross are the major influence on how people perceive the Bedlington and that perception is not misplaced.Until then a few hardy souls swim against the tide of prejudice that is spawned by the actions of the chancers and ego,s that pollute the honesty of the breed.

Battles are lost to win a war,until then ill retreat to the trenches with my pampered pooches and lob a few grenades into no mans land.
