I would have never contemplated keeping a small bushing lurcher type and kept spaniels for bushing with lurchers that could take a variety of edible quarry. Some folk i have found can't seem to gel with spaniels same as i can't with terriers.

I’d rather something like this than a spaniel as a general little busher/mooching dog

That's why my mate bred some years ago after seeing my springers he wanted something as not mad headed and produced the best little mooching and catapult dog he has ever had and was gutted when he lost her at 7 due to some illness. I had her for a week once when he was on holiday and gelled with her straight away as she was very chilled out and easy to live with then turned into a different little dog once she was out on the land.

This type of Spaniel/Beddy /Whippet hybrid, is real handy for the Bushing/Mouching style of hunting,...almost boundless, non-stop hunting and amazing energy,...not much gets past that exceptional nose..

I knew a keeper who had a cocker x beddy whippet from an accidental mating she was a great little dog

I remember a jackrussle off a farm when I was a kid nothing fancy but was one of them dogs that used to be out n about doing it's own thing all day everyday but it got to a springer bitch n apparently those pups turned out handy things

Ronda's 11 now, APBT x Cocker, both sides working bred.

In 50 years of ratting she's the best i've ever seen, bar none...!

As a busher she's decent enough, no Beagle cross, but she finds well, on all quarry. Gives tongue like a hound when she does, and puts so much gear out for my lurcher.

She can kill a fox, go to ground, if the hole is big enough. Carry birds back as if they are made of glass, and is as loyal as I've ever known a dog...

Maybe I should of bred from her, but though I simply don’t breed these days, she's so neurotic she's so difficult at home.

True, I never had her as a puppy (9- 12 months old) I believe the pitbull/cocker mix gives a dog more 'needy' than either parent. And I was never going to put that on anyone, even if i've lost something 'special'... It's like Malenios stuck in a kennel with no stimulation. It really is for the specialist. And so i've let it go. I know I'll regret it...

Don't see many of those about, does the bloke who bred her still have them?

Nope, one off litter. I missed them when they were first offered, but thankfully was asked again, at around 10/12 months
