Simoman 110 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Good luck with your pup mate but shouldn't you have found out more about the cross before buying one? Quote Link to post
MickC 1,825 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I had a first cross Gutchcommon Bedlington Greyhound that was easy the best dog ive ever owned.He was one of those dogs that seemed to be in the right place at the right time.Whatever was at the bottom of the beam he would pull it no questions asked.I bred him a few times but he never produced a pup that was anywhere as good as he was.Unfortunately he had to be pts earlier this year due to old age.I will sort some photos out and put them up Quote Link to post
No messin 2 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I've got a first cross bedd/grey and I find its will to hunt, outways its will to obey. It misses seeing stuff because it always has its nose to ground. It doesnt like the sharp end, but for a rabbiting dog I dont think you would go far wrong. I would start it on lamp before you let it hunt up though, otherwise you will have a job on your hands stopping it doing it while lamping - I know!!!! But this could be down to me being a shit dog trainer.... Quote Link to post
