I’ve seen whiplingtons for £750 bloody crazy money it’s not doing the bedlington lurcher any favours but then again nor are the people that are breeding straight bedlingtons with there greed an breeding for names charging high price tags the only way types or breeds prosper in the working game is working homes at working mans prices to get them the work good workers go back in the shit gets discontinued but money changes the goal post

Funny thing is there lads out there with beddy whippets trying get to ground on fox and most beddy owners struggle get them to ground at all lol 

who new the answer to the problem of digging beddys would be ad a bit whippet

Adding the blood allows the beddy x whippet to pull red stags on top... Can't see why it wouldn't make them better digging dogs as well

Iv said it since I was a teen, never saw need for smaller lurchers, lose too much from the whippet an don’t gain an awful lot back

That's why I like 3/4 whippet as you are getting all the goods,1/2 crosses are not one or the other(not saying they can't be great dogs) but adding 1/4, say terrier blood for vermin or !/4 staghound for bush sense,you are still getting a fast dog with a little more edge.And most still retain the great whippet temp.

Half x whippet bedlington to me don’t make no sence when a bedlington greyhound isn’t a big dog a f1 beddy whippet it’s not one nor the other but terrier whippet x f1 whippet greyhound or other larger sighthound makes sense but then again people have to start somewhere I don’t think I’d own a Little whippet x again I’d rather have a straight work bred whippet if I had to have a whippet size dog I’ve found in our country your to restricted with small dogs you got to have a medium/large type an be ready for anything no point in a small dog that has to run twice as hard to cover the same ground distance as a medium size dog little dogs are hard pushed

Yep the bedy grey f1 not a big jook and maybe 23/24  at the top end I'd rather have this x than a whippet x bed ,

its all down to what we need in a jook and the land we work .

i like a dog to be able to handle anything we come across and so far my bedy grey not let me down ,if I was going to take a litter out of her it would be deerhound or collie Type lurcher over her ,I was offered to use a Wheaton x but to much terrier in the mix .
