Supersam, always a pleasure to see those dogs of yours
-
Which cross would you choose as an allrounder and why??
What would the be the advantage of one cross over the other (game, terrain, handling, temperament, etc.)??
-
Two real beauts
Any pics of them running?
-
This is the fawn dogs brother all nice dogs and a good line of workers
Great looking dogs these two
What's their make-up??Some real lookers on this thread....let's see more.

hello mate i got a bedlington whippet saluki greyhound and thats a great allrounder, hes getting on now nearly 7 and still doing the job!
Did the job pre-ban I suppose??
Got any pics you wish to share?
-
Same question I asked with no replies also:
http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=148929
I would have thought this could be a good allround cross....but I guess it's not too common.
-
No experiences with this cross??
If not then let me ask you this, what would some saluki in the mix add (or detract) compared to the a 1/4beddy x 3/4grey ??
-
Very smart looking dog Jimmy!
Enjoyed the story and the pics very much.
Sounds like both of you may have found what you are looking for.....and it doesn't hurt that he's welcome back at the pub
Hope he does the part for you when the time comes.

Sounds like it should be a good allround cross.....is this a cross that is bred often?
What type of land would this x be best on?
Any pics of this x would be great....just curious
-
Nice looking little pups!
Didn't know you could use Dales as tollers?? I would have thought instead of bringing the yote to the gun that they'd eant to chase
Got any pics of the parents doing work
-
Strong looking dogs there fellas
From the pics SD's dog looks like it took on more of the Beddy while AA's bitch favours the grey.
Good luck with their progress and looking forward to some more pics in the future
-
Excellent pics MW!!
Love the look of the blue dog....what's his make-up??
Which one is Smokey??
-
Bump..
Sorry, but just want to get this last question square in my head
Why do lads decide to use the longer links if the short ones are more useful in stopping them from running down holes? I notice most pics on here are of dogs coupled to the longer links.
-
No joke CH, I was seriously considering writing something about that...but didn't think anyone would get it and wonder when this daft Canadian was on about
....since we're on the subject....Sid the Kid came through for us this evening
-
Cheers for the honest answer Busterdog
Then why do lads decide to use the longer links? ....just to give the dogs a bit more room when coupled for a good part of the day?
-
Sounds like a great time!
Very nice looking country too.
You seem to have all bases covered in the back of that truck: hounds, lurchers, terrier and gundogs
-
As earth dogs are very game dogs, do you ever have a problem with dogs fighting each other while coupled?
Also, when would you choose a long link vs. short link couple?? Does this depend on the size of the dogs?
-
So mainly tradition??? ....but still useful enough to be practical??
Why hasn't it caught on with the other types?
Ever been tied around the legs by manic dogs on long leads? Well terriers are just the same!
YES!
-
Why are terriers coupled? ....what advantage does it give to just having them each on their own lead?
Why are terriers coupled as a rule but the other types aren't (lurchers, gundogs, etc.)??
I told you....very basic question
-
Just wanted to get an idea of how often you lot get out in the field (hunting or training) with your dogs.
I know this will change throughout the year as the weather and hunting seasons change.
I don't have a hunting dog but have a dog I compete with in a protection sport (Schutzhund). We compete in tracking obedience and protection so quite a lot of exercised to teach (and srew up
). We train 2 weekday evenings and Sunday mornings during the summer, and Saturday mornings only during the winter. With a pup some sort of work would be required at least once a day for shorter periods.What about your schedule??
Mods: This is posted on the Lurcher, Terrier and Gundog forums as they are different types of dogs requiring different schedules. Hope this is OK to do.

Topper, sounds like you have your a kennel full
Can someone tell me what this means....
A bit of translation issue on my part: What does "the lakies are the wind up merchants" mean
Sh 08, what age is your bitch?? Is she an adult or pup? (edited: just saw your post in the beginning of this thread and pup is 6m old) 13" tts should be a nice size for earth work.

a good working bedy is an allrounder they have brilliant noses , but to be honest my bedys are earth dogs as iam not into bushing , bedlingtons arent everybodys cup of tea there a funny old lot they can be a bit sensetive and strange but they have the heart but sometimes you need to bring it out of them were as a pat or lakie can be gun ho from about 6 months and you spend time trying to calm the buggers down , i run a mixed kennel and find the pats can be the fighters the lakies are the wind up merchants and the bedys are the steady eddies but if it kicks of the bedys are in the thick of it, ive got bedys here that are as good as any pat if not better but iam biast as i have a soft spot for bedys but as i say there not everybodys cup of tea and there a lot of crap out there so for anybody thinking of getting a bedy do your homework first then find the workers and get one from there and believe me this is not an easy task, atb top
Excellent summary and comparison Topper
Really appreciate you shedding some light on this for me and nice to know you have mixed kennel so you do have experience with all in question (except the white dogs weren't mentioned)
A bit of translation issue on my part: What does "the lakies are the wind up merchants" mean
Also, what is the chest size of the beddy's you use for earth work.....my understanding is our earth's are generally tighter than yours so this can be a very significant issue (generally require a chest size of 14" or under to consistently work without getting hung up).
thinking of getting a bedlington x whippet greyhound
