That's what we have all tried to recreate yes? The biggest problem imo when it comes to dogs bred for working or pets is that person's Honesty...... I've been around a few different folks, and there's only one gentleman in 25 yrs who I can honestly say sat me down and told me the good and bad traits of the dogs I could of used from himlots more will tell you what you want to hear I get ya I honestly do , just why not add a good black dog why beddy they would not be renowned for there working ability underground it's sounds abit more like an experiment than anything else.

Some lads do dig to beddys or beddy types some are a bit big for fox job so as the lads like the beddy will out cross to bring size but will add beddy back in crate a type that suit them , like saying why was bull type added to black dogs ?? 1 Quote Link to post

Bull Russells are for the most part a thing of the past and I can't think of one instance where adding beddy would benefit a line of digging dogs. Quote Link to post

I wont be crossing the two I dont have any beddies I wouldnt rule out the cross or any cross between any working terrier breeds and I said nothing about adding beddy blood to improve a patterdale Iv always used the spade on pats that are lacking fixes them every time. 1 Quote Link to post

Maybe... But who's to say adding some black dog to a beddy wouldn't improve the chances of a type similar in looks but with a good work ethic? Same way you would add wheaton or bull to a runner to get what you need for the job? 3 1 Quote Link to post

I do agree tho if a dog does his job don't knock em but it's not as simple as just that.

Spot on these pedigrees most terriers lads have are jock fox only x trixxie fox only and sore forth they don’t say Lakeland x border x bull Russel do they and if you can go back 5 generations are the people alive who can vouch what’s been put in them because there black you presume there black dogs liver bedlington x blue bedlinog will produce black atb 1 Quote Link to post

I put a Beddy dog over a mates black bitch a few years ago,according to him the progeny are reliable grafters and more settled in nature.I know another lad that owned a Beddy dog and did an awful lot of digging to it,in his vicinity a few lads wanted a reliable stud to put over their terriers,they went for a black terrier that had seen very little rather than opt for the better and more proven digging dog.Thats the problem the beddy faces,ignorance. 3 Quote Link to post

Agree these black terriers must have been bred from outta space there still arguing over who bredsmithy who worked smithy who owned smithy who did they breed smithy with if the black terrier was that good I’m sure the records kept would have been a lot better not just hearsay all the time working dogs are just bred for work so breed what you think is [BANNED TEXT] for you and enjoy them atb Edited April 26, 2020 by coco 2 Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 My digging mate had a beddyxfell about 20 year ago, he was a good fox dog to ground and an extremely good dog to push foxes out of cover, bred over in the west, mayo if memory serves me right, but he was probably a one of. 1 Quote Link to post
