Patterdales are worked a lot more then bedlington terriers. Would you be happier to use a bedlington over a patt say as a stud dog? All depends on what bitch I was putting it over ,lot more patts go to ground but I don't think the bedlington terrier was ever ment for working small earths but rock piles and badger sets and if the patterdale a better option to produce lurchers why wasn't it used that much in the past or in recent times ? I'd rather go with a bedlington stud that's bushing and ratting/rabbiting than a out and out earth dog to produce q lurcher but that my opinion, 2 Quote Link to post

C.green 3,231 Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I liked the little dog retrieved brilliantly lamping was ok for a dog hes size but wasnt too keen on tangling with muntjac hence why he went to someone just for rabbiting. I was lucky enough to buy a bitch abit bigger that was mad for them but she was killed on a road. You know yourself a good whippet type with a big heart is a good bit of sport on them munties and thats the main thing i go out for these days. 1 Quote Link to post
