Lol. But one thing I can tell you for certain is that in over 30 years or probably ever a Bedlington has never dipped his cock in a bitch from the line. Lol. What sane thinking man would want to go backwards with his breeding. Edited April 27, 2020 by dogmandont Quote Link to post

What about before 30 years ago and what colour of terrier did your line start then ,,,,,,,,,,, and if your breeding black to black or throwinging in a chocolate now and again and following a line your still fowlding in that original colour that’s why patterdales come in all shapes and form smooths roughs curly coats,,, bully heads snippy heads because there throwing up what put in the past from years gone buy,,,,,, Quote Link to post

No offence but you must have the goose that's lays the golden egg, it's not better men than me or you that determines a good dog it's the game in front of the dog, maybe your a one off. 5 Quote Link to post

eastcoast 4,006 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 A friend of mine bred a 1st cross of this type many years ago. He bought a young adult Bedlington simply because he had always wanted one. It was KC with Gutchcommon blood (weren't they all?) and the prefix Foggyfurze rings a bell. It sired a litter over a smooth coated black terrier that he also owned at the time. The bitch was from Nuttall lines (aren't they all?). It was not to create an improved type of Bedlington or improve the terriers that he had and may have been an accidental mating. I cannot remember exactly. The Beddlngton sire was a very nice dog that I liked. A poor coat and thin skinned, like a whippet, and too big for a working terrier but a lovely animal. Very laid back and no bother but loved work. Despite his size many times proved that he was not afraid of the dark or the things that a working terrier finds in the dark. My friend kept a male back from the litter. Once again a nice dog but a bit big. Had a very nice coat. Curly like a Bedlington bit far harsher and tighter with an undercoat. A massive head and teeth. Looked like what I would imagine a working Kerry Blue would have looked like if such things ever really existed. He was also given the opportunity to prove himself and was never found lacking, but not day in day out and week in week. A sort of family was developed. Only male dogs were kept by my friend and surplus pups given away. Always put back to the Patterdale type to keep the family going, simply because my friend liked this family of dogs. He was always very honest about their breeding and capabilities and never tried to pass them off as 100% digging dogs. The original litter showed obvious Bedlington blood, subsequent litters never did. All black, all smooth coated. All with good, very good heads and huge teeth but good mouths. Did they enter the gene pool, almost all were given away as pups? The "family" has now ended as terriers. The last dog that my friend owned was retired last year and given to a good man and his wife to be pampered and loved. Not before it lined one of his working ESS bitches, which was an accidental mating. He took the bitch for the injection but 3 pups were born. A dog pup was kept and it looks like a black smooth coated ESS and does the same job as his dam. He has also proved to be better than the spaniels as a dog for tracking shot deer. On fox days he always seems to be the 1st to find and last to give up. 4 Quote Link to post

A good dog to me is a good dog regardless of it's breed and I always like to see a good dog work but likes been said quarry and location play a big part Morton and you could always say about the standard they actually work at that May suit some but not others we all have different views as you know Edited May 1, 2020 by Blackmag Quote Link to post
