Hi, has anyone got any decent fotos of a bedlington whippet and could anyone who has experience of them tell me how good they would be for rabbits? Cheers

good little ferreting dog not bad on the lamp but a bit to small for me and he is for sale

I have had bed/ whipt and beddy/ greyhound crosses for the last thirty years they are fantastic rabbit dogs altough they are to small for fox the little buggers will get stuck in given the chance. if you want a dog for both i would suggest you go for a beddy greyhound cross or hiybred they make good fox dogs.personal choice i would go for a bitch i find that they come on a fair bit quicker than dogs. although i have not owned one i hear good things about the dogs bred from the poachers pocket kennels.

My first cross beddy whippet is 22" and easily the best rabbiting dog I've owned. Amazing nose, nippy as hell with bolters and game as can be - she did a 3/4 grown cub a few months back on her own (couldn't get her to let the damned thing go! :realmad: ) The only faults I've found are:

A) When she's hunting something, f*ck what I say - she's hunting! and she'll be back once she's done, thank you very much (bit of a pisser when ya need her back rapido :ph34r: :whistle: )

When lamping, she has a tendency to keep her nose to the ground rather than look down the beam, but as this is her first season of lamping (ferreting being my main thing) I gues it'll come.

 

Looks no' bad too

alright mate i have a little 20in bed/whippet 1st x blue dog about 30lbs but he thinks hes 28in and 80lb,hes only had one fox doubled up with my mates bed/grey x deer/grey 12 month old pup but my bed/whip had to do the majority of the work as the young bitch backed off a little as she got a couple of nips.

i honestly can,t knock this little cross for ferriting/lamping and day time mouching,i wish i could send you some photos of my little dog but i haven,t sussed it out yet,but if your only hunting the nimble coney this x will be spot on

Happy new year everyone!! My resolution was to not get involved in controversy on hunting site forums, but I'm allready going to break it! Every bed/ whippett 1st cross I have seen has been far to small to be much good at owt bar bushing and no better than a terrier or spaniel. I must admit I've never seen a 22" 1st cross, so there may be some good un's out there. A bed/ grey or bed/whippet x grey, in my opinion is a far better option. I must stress this is only my opinion, my own pup has bed/grey/deer/whippett in her so I have nothing against Bed Xs.

Cheers.
