Also it seems like there is becoming a shift in people’s attitudes to small terrier bred lurchers, the beddy whippet would be a few places down on my list if I wanted a whippet terrier cross. Russell pat or bull whippet from the right stuff would be my choice

lads bush ferret and lamp beddy whippets mate there capable runners  id have them above russel or pat or bull x whippet mate your limiting you quarry with them?

I reckon he could teach most pure whippets a thing or two. First x whippet Russell. Probably not as fast as a straight whippet but hardy, clever and brave. I wish I could have him back at that age aga

Russell X 3/4 grey 1/4 collie. This lad done way, way more than I ever expected. 22" ? Cheers, D.

Ok so here is a question ? What makes a 17-18” Beddy x whip, a more capable runner with a wider quarry available to it, than a pat x or bull x or the same size?

A friend of mine once mated a Beddy/Whippet with a top class working Patterdale to get some bushing pups.

They were bonny looking little dogs, but I couldnt see the point.

They were almost certain to drop in, so why not just get a Terrier ?

Being only a 1/4 whippet, they probably wouldn't have the speed to catch in the open, so why not just stick with the Beddy/whippets or whippets ?

Maybe they suited him, and it's only MY opinion, he was happy, so I guess they did what HE wanted them to do ?

Cheers.

A Bedlington is a more capable runner mate already like a whippet a pat been bred as earth dog there going to spoil your day i think and a bull x whippet heavy things aren't they mate ? thats my thoughts

Don’t take this the wrong way but I think most of that is based on theory not practice. Most pure beds I see would shit themselves at a big rabbit ? go and have a look at the terrier and the bushing section and see how many working beds you can find. All of the good old Beddy x whips and greys from distant years ago which are held up as great dogs, would have been bred out of beds that worked to ground. So your point re pats being earth dogs is a moot point to an extent. 
 

I could show you a pat dog that will stay for 12 hours, is taller than most beddys, natural retriever, great nose, loves water, great with other dogs eyx and will smash the granny out of what you point it at. I can’t see why sticking him over a whippet bitch would produce a less capable small runner for messing about with, than someone’s Beddy who once scared a rabbit out a bush it held one in a net.

Mc is right, a Bedlington is much sharper off the mark than a Patterdale and waay faster. 

We are talking of using one as a runner here. 

I'm sure some make handy dogs but so do beddy crosses and pure whippets. 

Just seems like another pipe dream to me and unnecessary.

As anyone actually got any footage of them doing the business?

Unnecessary? Lots of folk probably said that about the bull and the saluki. 
 

If it was all about speed, we’d all use greyhounds and whippets.

Again, what do they offer that a good bedlington cross can offer as a runner?

Acceleration and speed matter mate at the end of the day even though other traits are beneficial.

Bedington terriers were originally bred as earth dogs unless I’m very much mistaken ........
