Border X lakeland whippet

[stumfelter 3,034]

What relevance has how good it is at earth work when he wants to cross it with a running dog? It's his bitch and if he wants a leggy type of tyke out of it then crack on bud. Too many on here think the only working terrier is one that goes to ground and your wrong!

I can't see you having problems finding homes for that cross,I'd be interested if you were in Oz.I know people who's Russells were too hard as they like to bolt foxes for the staghounds,they added whippet and the dogs they use now are 25% whippet 75% Russell and are spot on for what they want,you could put the pups back either way depending what your doing and get useful dogs.

I'm a big fan of whippet x terriers and think they will make handy dogs. I'd still wait til she's got a few seasons under her belt though. 

Looks like a cracking day you had Sunday, well done.

On the subject of terrier crosses I saw a bloke walking his newly rescued dog other day, what a beauty. It was a bedlington cross patterdale that had the physical shape and size of a bedlington but was pure black. I bet that would have made some interesting whippet x pups.

why are some of you lads on about earth work if the cross will be for ratting bushing mooching a digging dog wont bring anything to the cross . 

I think maybe a few of us have been left a little confused by the post an what direction its gone with this section being the lurcher an running dog section (yes I know it’s technically a lurcher) most people That have sighthound x terrier want it for being used as a running dog That runs for a living not just bushing/rating dog normally I think maybe this post is in the wrong section it’d probably been better in the bushing dog section it would of been positive as people my self including thought this cross was a poor choice as a conventional worker for the more common roll of what a Lurchers all about when in reality there not being bred for lurcher work there being bred for nippy terrier type rat work and nailing the odd rabbit in cover my original comments about whippet x terriers being a poor choice an me finding them not much good  still stands but the work roll is different but it’s horses for courses an all that.

poxon is right they are not running dogs. I only keep this type of little lurcher now. excellent moochers, mine Catches rabbits but you are talking small 20 yard dashes.will work any cover, a natural marker and will take squirrels and odd pheasant. this type is great for ferreting, and bushing. never a dull walk.

if i was looking for a busher ratting mooching about dog i would`nt want any digging blood in it ,,

Why not? if it’s being crossed with say a whippet or a spaniel or beagle etc surly it’s only terrier to terrier you wouldn’t want digging blood given the small size an being able to drop to ground if you didn’t want that risk surly for the bushing/mooching you’d want fearless blooded dogs that wouldn’t be fannys an beat around the bush if something was in cover that offered some heat you’d want dogs with bottle to get in there and get stuck in an see it head on unless your plan is bolting it for running dogs that would be my opinion any way right or wrong I don’t know

I rather the bigger cousin to this cross at the minute for what I’m in to  (bedlington greyhound xs) but can honestly say I’ve said I’d never own another f1 beddy whippet but when I slow down in the lurcher game when my time is done and spent if I can get another bedlington whippet well bred id happily put my feet up with one if it’s just mooching about

sadly my friend I am at that stage now. mooching with little dog and single Jill in coat and 8 or 9 nets. bit of longnetting if numbers improve, different days but still enjoying it.
