Neil Beacon Bred First Cross. The dog is 7 years old and it has been a first rate rabbiting dog taking hundreds of rabbits.

Best coat I have ever seen on a first cross, mouth like a crockadile, very biddable, bomb proof with stock just a pleasure to spend some memorable days around catching a few rabbits. The most robust 1st cross I have ever seen but with plenty of pace. 100% marker the dog never lies.

Got a first x bitch ,23tts 20 months old and she's got same crocodile mouth .shes coming along fine

It’s interesting ain’t it Phil an very contradicting at the same time starts by saying the f1 is the finish article an don’t see the benefits of any thing else being added but might take a pup out of a lad that’s coming down from Cumbria if the bitch makes the grade

Then recites to dogs of yesteryear to enforce his reasoning behind the thoughts that cannot be proved otherwise rather than the here An now 

sings the dogs praise of being the finished article thats bomb proof around stock and in every aspect of the job yet thinks people are stupid don’t remember nothing An can’t read between the lines Yet was on a post on here a while ago saying his mates 7yr old f1 as started taking a liking to stock

Think someone is blowing there own trumpet trying to be a purest there’s no such thing as the finished article with dogs there is always room for improvement if your real an honest about your own dogs 

completely lost on budgies comments tbh sounds like a purest but at the same time sounds as a play to a audience 

 

In respect to being contradictory the bitch is 6 months old currently and will be thoroughly tested for 2 to 3 years before being bred from and it is a Bedlington bred bitch. The breeding may never take place bearing in mind the age of my mates dog.

My current dog is coming up 5 years and if the bitch is bred from it will coincide with when I will be looking for another dog.

Obviously this is all pie in the sky currently and 3 years is a long time away when you are getting older who knows where you will be in 3 years.

What will be the availability of genuine first crosses in 3 years time obviously with decreasing gene pool more difficult.

In respect to dogs of yester year are lot of this thread has been about dogs of yesteryear and peoples life experiences which has made this thread for me very interesting and some cracking photos.

I would be greatfull poxon if you could post my previous post where I mentioned my mates dog starting taking stock. I have participated in threads on remedies to stock worrying but never mentioned my mates dog.

In respect to being a purist I am not really sure what you mean or what relevance it has. I appreciate all breeds with my mate now having a collie bred dog which is shaping up to be a nice dog in its second year. He has chosen to go down that route to try something different his choice. If a dog can do what an owner requires what does it matter what breeding is.

I have no hidden agenda certainly not to promoting any future breeding just participating in one of the best threads I have seen for a long time with a diverse spectrum of views which are exactly that personal views and experiences about Bedlington breeding.

Keep Posting.
