I agree most Bedlington terriers bred today are being bred for £££ and not to better a type "worker to worker " I had a look on bushing page and see few pics of your dogs and they look nice type .

TonyT 1,426 Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 What is the stud dog Morton ? is it back to a Bedlington or a felltype ? honest question ATB ... Tony Quote Link to post
fenman1# 724 Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 I'd gladly try a bedlington if you wanna put me forward to owner of pups and dog will be garunteed earth work every week if it made the grade and wasn't €2000 to start with. Tried getting a bedlington to try but they seem impossible to get or impossible to get a reply back.. If people wanted to keep the bedlington alive why wouldn't they sell to any working home? been part of a circle of 5 people ain't going to save any breed either. Atb fenman 10 Quote Link to post

I’m 100% all for it ......shame the gene pool isn’t bigger with less need for out crossing so much. mortons bedlingtons do work , I’m not questioning that ATB ... TonyT 2 Quote Link to post

Don't understand how someone can complain that it's only pet homes wanting he's dogs and when we say we will buy one and run it on as a working dog and then they don't even reply to a message, I think half the lads that keep bedlington lose there arse hole when you tell them you wanna try it to ground.. I wouldn't mind trying to source out some of that Swansea Jack stuff from what I remember he done a bit of digging with them Edited May 8, 2021 by fenman1# 3 1 Quote Link to post
