Did the Kerry Blue have any influence on the bedlingtons?? Quote Link to post

Hunter of T-N-G 1 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 What is the difference between a Patterdale and and Fell?? Is is that the patterdale had more staffordshire blood added to the lines hence their reputation for lackiing in reverse gears more so than others. If there was proper Kerry Blue blood in fell lines it would explain how some of the old black fell stuff was crazy too. 1 Quote Link to post
