The dad to my pup is kc bedlington and works teeth etc,he was the best bedy I see in yrs .i was looking for a pure bedlington from workers for a long time but couldn't find one ,got offered few pat x bedy but not for me,I'm sure they would do the job but like you said when starting a lurcher line it's best to have pure breeds to start with so I found a well bred pup and no messing about trying to place pups in good working homes.
