Serious question here morton, if fell terriers and lakeys have never been bettered, why do you keep banging on about the bedlington being the 'best'?
Not looking to argue, but find find a lot of your posts hypocrital.
And as sure as eggs are peanuts we'll keep having these conversations.
I've got relatives that work and breed bedlingtons, and NONE of them rate them better as an earth dog, than a patterdale/fell/lakeland
