    from my own limited experience of them, i found them to be great wee lamping dogs, with ferreting i think thet're fine if things are moving along fairly quickly, but they do suffer if its bitterly cold and they're standing about for too long, on hares, i've only ever caught 2 with whippets during the day, i ran more at night on the lamp but never got any , they literally ran circles round the dogs, good craic but. i've caught 6 foxes in my life , all caught and killed by the same show bred whippet dog, 19 1/2 inches, 26 pound ( exactly the same as my present whippet), i think he took 1 bad bi

    they're show breeders frank but i've had dogs from them before that were excellant workers and game with it, one dog inparticular took fox single handed with barely a mark on him, always pinned in a throat hold by the time i got there, he just had the knack for it. sorry to hear about your's mate, good luck with the suluki x.

    not my dog but found this pic of a fairly rare liver straight half bedlington x greyhound, cracker looking dog. i bred several litters of the 1/2 breds and 3/4 whippet x beddys many years ago, very good noses and some of them never got the hang of the lamp because of that, they couldn't resist putting that nose to the ground. as a moocher upper they are hard to beat though.

    a show bred bitch but from the same line that i've worked very hard in the past, hopefully she will start to earn her keep this coming season, good strong hunting instinct and not a nervous bone in her body.

    you beat me to it there, the ould granda loved them too. don't know about tripe n' onions, but my da says when out on the piss they use to eat pickled elders in the bar . ( pickled elders = cow teats )

    with a good kennel and plenty of straw kenneling whippets outside isn't an issue, they're hardier than they look. this is a couple that i owned, show bred but good workers, the dog took fox single handed, which i believe isn't as rare as i once thought it was.

    this was a good wee whippet i owned many moons ago, he was a half decent ferreting dog, though admittedly i rarely netted up, was more for bolts. the cold did bother them if had to wait a long time, but the same dog regularly lamped in all weathers with no problems. show bred 19 1/2 inches 26 lb, a very game wee dog who took several foxes single handed, i know they look fraile but its not a word i would use to describe them. when i've no longer the strenght to walk these bulls, i would'nt mind ending my days with a good whippet. sorry pics did'nt come out for some reason ( they appeared in

    personally i think night express is a beauifull dog, there's the difference between a roach back and a slight arch over the lion. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> obviously that should have read loin, i think i'm starting to dote.

    mick, i use one for my patterdale, also used the flirt pole, both great ways of keeping/getting a dog in shape.

    also have to add, that i've never seen another terrier with teeth as large as a bedlingtons, they certainly have the tools for the job, if your have one the right size, being very narrow fronted they can get most places. personally i think night express is a beauifull dog, there's the difference between a roach back and a slight arch over the lion.
