You are absolutely right mate, When I left school everyone who worked terriers had Russells, and most were small bayers. Then a few lads appeared on the scene with red Lakie dogs they bought from Cumbria and these dogs at first seemed superior (fox killers) until many got lost/killed at ground. Only the keepers round our way kept Borders, and they were deemed exotic. And then there was wierdos like me with Lakey/Bedlingtons . But I'm quite sure if you had a tick list of traits you wanted in a terrier, you could still pinpoint certain breeders/strains and get what you want. I would like

Cheers Topper but thats one for the future. I'm gonna try and concentrate on rats between now and the summer. I,ve got two landfill sites within 5 miles of me plus a few other places I know where we are sure to get a result. The last thing I need is for this pup to be tackling a fox at this age and getting a kicking, so I'm just going to play it safe, so the local rat population is gonna get it. (I can hear them collectively squeek with laughter) .

ABSOLUTELY MINT JUL. I've actually been on the "arsehole disposal unit" bus to Paisley (well behaved of course). What struck me about this class site was how eloquent and intelligent the bus driver is. What a waste of talent. Ps a "ned" is a Scottish thug/chav

Finished for Christmas hols on Friday so out and about with the pup every day. As I only have permission for one bit of land at the moment, thats where we've been. Had a laugh today chasing rabbits all over the place (they were never in much danger though ) On the way back to the car I decided to walk along a strip of woods on a steep banking. Funny thing was that we never saw a single bunny on the whole strip but the pup semed to be following a good scent anyway and the crows were making a terrible racket all the way. Just as we were coming to within 100 yards of the end of the wo

Great pics jack! That Barney is a handsome fvcker - genetically modified Bedlington. Has anyone ever told you that you look a littltle bit like a Border Lakeland ? :whistle:

I see one nearly every morning (same place). It lets the dog get to almost biting distance then dives up a tree.

Pure comedy "kill them with axes" made me laugh. But the Dallinger posts tickled me so much I nearly pissed my pants

Cheers Oneredtrim Went back down there this morning, dog on a lenth of washing line (degree of control) but the Deer were nowhere to be seen today. I'll keep him on the long lead for at least the next few visits, means to an end and all that. I felt sorry for the little fecker in the end and let him off the lead on the way back - bad move - he disgraced himself by attacking a couple of Swans in full view of a load of Sunday morning strollers, kids and all. Highly illegal I imagine, although the Swans looked more than capable of looking after themselves. I'm caught between being c

Eh? Did that joke go right over your head Compo old mate?

Could you imagine kids these days chucking the boomerang shaped bits off their bunk beds at ducks down the local park - surefire ASBO.

I popped into my local post office this morning to post a parcel. I had my 6 month Bedlington pup on a lead and couldnt find anywhere outside to tether him, so thinking - I'll only be a few minutes - I took him in with me. I hadn't even reached the counter when the officious old boot (postmistress) challenged me with " you cant bring that dog in here" I replied - " whats the harm? I'll only be a few minutes" She retorted - " It states clearly on the door - N O D O G S " She then added - " the only dogs permited in here are GUIDE DOGS" I quipped - "but this is a GUIDE

Aaaagh blowguns - now its all coming back to me Baldie. Cheers Tuffty - I'll also have a look to see if our friends at Coch and Bondage have a copy.

I've been reading through all my old Plummer books recently (think what you like about the guy but his books are very readable - especially Rat hunting man ) and I was trying to remember the name of a book I read in my teens called "A sporting chance" by a guy called Dan Mannix?? (I think). It contained stories of hunting Bears and Coyotes with dogs, and even had a chapter on an English Badger dig. Has anyone read this book? and I wonder is it still available today?

On the subject of size (height) - a question for Bedlington fanciers - what size are your Dogs topping out at? My opinion is anything under 16" (as long as it has a narrow chest) can do a job down a hole. My old Lakie/Bed dog Solo (15 1/2 ") saw a lot of foxes at ground (and a few black and white Foxes :whistle: ) and always seemed to reach his quarry. But I am a realist and would concede that a male dog with as much Bedlington in as my dog can never reach as many Foxes as say a smaller Fell/Patt/JRT etc. But I am looking for more of an all round mooching dog i.e Rats, rabbits Fox and th

For just a brief moment I thought that was a pic of the white pup savaging the family cat.

Cheers Topper but I couldnt use an electric collar on young Spike. He's actually trained to a decent standard i.e Stay ,sit ,come back and stop biting my feckin toes :11: . I'm just going to have to live with it (a small cross to bear when you think that some "Beddies" run away from rabbits and mine reckons he's got the taste for venison.) I'm quite impressed with his nose and willingness to hunt (even though he's a bit too enthusiastic sometimes and runs past his quarry looking for it) Early days though and experience will come soon enough. I know you shouldnt count your chicke

" In the kitchen, getting dinner " ? (Sniff! Sniff!) Sounds like Utter B*llocks to me, mate. As it no doubt did to the judge too. Pound to a pinch of sh!t they were out there cooking crystals! Is "crystals" a seasonal dish Ditch? :11:

Knocked off work at 1pm today - straight home, boots on, muppet on lead (I mean Bedlington ) and down to my bit of permission. The pup was working the cover well If I'd had a Lurcher or a gun with me I'd have bagged a few bunnies. He doesn't yap when he's on to a rabbit , more of a desperate whining noise. Anyway, We were working a wood/coppice on a fairly steep bank, which ran for about a mile when he starts yapping like a feckin foxhound, I'm thinking FOX?, But no, suddenly I see 2 roe deer with Spike tearing after them. Away they went into the distance for about a mile, the dog sti
