The dont need speed apparently 

Slowing down is sometimes the best way to speed up.

if your after a ferreting dog that's as tough as old boots with good feet you wont go wrong with a first x beddy/grey that's if you can fine a genuine one ?

My retired bitch is whippet x beddy greyhound. She's been a fantastic dog for me, if I could have another like her I would without thinking about it. I bought her from an advert in the countrymans weekly, best £150 I've ever spent. It's a shame litters like this aren't bred anymore.

My dog runs rabbits better at the end of the night when he is tired.

So yea i would say you could be right

It takes a fast dog to catch the rabbits here, they don't half run and the fields are big. 

If the dogs more of a plodder, using only brains to catch, then it won't be catching much. I need speed and brains

I could, but where are they? 

I never see them advertised or word of mouth. Are there any genuine litters of this cross nowadays? I keep reading that bedlingtons aren't what they used to be so even if I did find a genuine bred litter, would they be the real deal?

Maybe you would of been better breeding of your bitch

Dogs are intelligent enough to work out the pace that is required to catch their prey.Speed is a great attribute but those of us that were lucky enough to be old enough to witness a coursing event, will know that speed can be a disadvantage. overshooting cost many a dog first place Ferreting a dog that can work out what position to be in is worth its weight in gold i had one it showed up a few dogs with so called reputations. Anyway just enjoy the game while it lasts.
