I'm no anti if you can put me in contact with someone in the UK who has a kc reg digging beddy that's not just a fox only type terrier I will give the both of you 500 each to show the dog is the real deal. If you just want a lurcher mainly for rabbits odd hare odd fox then a beddy lurcher out of a bushing, ratting kc beddy would probably suffice but show them a few teeth one after the other and I bet the very vast majority wouldn't last 2 nights lamping.

coco 261 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 There are plenty of people working bedlington hybrids below ground the same as people prefer border x Lakeland border x Russel bull x Russell’s there all crossed for a reason size coat game ness but a bedlington x greyhound must be a pure bedlington x pure greyhound otherwise in your future breeding programme the offspring will get smaller because of the outcross blood on the bedlington atb dai 2 1 Quote Link to post

Str 793 Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 Picture of my, not mi mates or one I’ve seen work or read about on here she was my KC Bedlington bitch born around 1986,she killed that fox in the large gorse patch behind,her coat wasn’t perfect and at 16 inch too big for most earths but what Bedlingtons of her breeding didn’t lack was instinct to hunt and kill foxes,she would have been ideal to breed beddie x whippets.ive also owned a 1/16 border Bedlington who was big and strong ideal for crossing with a greyhound, he could also get to ground in some earths even though he was between 17-18 inch tts,with him only being 1/16 I would have used him on a greyhound but some of the 1/2 or 3/4 hybrids I’ve seen over the years I wouldn’t have used to produce lurchers as they didn’t resemble Bedlingtons enough,you could clearly see too much border or fell etc and generally they didn’t have the size and stature you want to produce lurchers.i have seen a dog bred out of a 3/4 beddie 1/4 fell x racing whippet which didn’t look right being short in the leg and it lacked speed but a good worker regards hunting buts that’s it. 4 Quote Link to post
