bedlington whippet

[smarty 0]

i am interested in this cross but dont know much about it

the reason for it is my mum wont let me keep lurchers becuase she dosent like the look of them

so ive seen a few of these crosses with curly bedlington coats (trying to fool her )

just wondered how good they are in the field ?

what quarry would they tackle ?

and what are they like temperament and training ??

 

thanks

I have 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy with a broken coat.

Its my first lurcher and its still young - so im not an expert.

But its an intelligent dog and is a quick learner - gets board quickly though. The whippet makes them more eager to please than a pure beddy. I have a full beddy as well its just over a year old now.

They both have a nice temperament and are nice about the house as long as they are exercised/worked.

Dont know what your looking for but if your mom doesnt want a big lurcher have you thought about getting a pure beddy? There are guys that take fox (in ireland) and rabbits in the bushes with one beddy-but you have to know what your doing as well. The beddy is a good bushing dog and has a good nose as well.

My beddy whippet does everything that my bull x does
