bedlington greyhounds how do you rate them?

[Guest ferret feller]

chears

i wanted too know if anyone owns or knows of any beddie greys... iv heard the beddie whippet is a popular cross but id like to know about the beddie greys....

what are they like temperment wise? agility? what size do they generally make? do they pick up maney injurys during normal work oposed to other mixes? ad how do you rate them on bigger stuff (fallow, roe, fox)

all the best

ran one for a while( gave it back when my uncle lost his), he was ok on lamped rabbits, was keen on foxs but lacked the weight to do them single handed.would scream its head off when behind a hare, to small and hadnt the pace to get near one.

yer iv heard this cross is liable to give tounge while coursing.......

[Guest mickyrichardson]

ive seen many beddy/ghound coarse without opening up so think thats c**p mate any dog will open up brought up wrong imo

[Guest ferret feller]

chears mate... i can see him reading this topic now :clapping:

Mine never opened up running anything. Belting dog but i would agree about foxes, mine was on the light side.

[Guest ferret feller]

ooh right mabey the one i saw was brought up wrong.... chears lads.....

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

mine was 2 yrs old and only ever opened up on daylight hares the rare times it got to see one, it did catch a few on the lamp.

i never tried him on roe as he was only 23" and i aint keen on deer screaming out as they drag a small dog about.seen it with whippets and its not for me.i like a bigger weighty dog for roe

[Guest ferret feller]

ooh right... thanks mate was it a first cross? how would a 3/4 grey 1/4 beddie work out?

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]
