I might be wrong here, as I'm mainly going on what these dog's owners have told me. But I've been out with both of em, and the dogs certainly did bag up on the rabbits. But at 30.5""tts and 92lb, one of them certainly looked as though it could've been useful on other quarry ☺
-
Why not? I know a couple of people that own 1st cross deerhound/greyhounds, and they specialise in lamping rabbits
-
Do you think he'd be in the breeding of tor of dartmoor? He was from down that way weren't he?
-
T c, was that an import, or bred from the show stuff over here?
-
Not disputing that bill. I'm saying the beddy crosses I seen at work were probably not trained properly enough on recall etc as youngsters, as the owners weren't really that bothererd. And that lack of training combined with their superb noses, made lamping with them far less than pleasurable. Nothing to do with wind or stamina. Just to add, the two worst I seen on the lamp, were two of the best, of any type, I've seen in the day
-
Bill, you seriously trying to compare a pharoah hound against a galgo?! Tut tut tut
-
Well I think it could well be as the old saying goes, you get out what you put in. The beddy crosses I've seen were owned and worked by what could be said as 'less than demanding' owners. Who knows? But it put me off beddy crosses lol
-
I know this type is 'your type' nl. But the dogs I've seen at work , daytime and lamping, of this type, have been great dogs in the day, but alot more than hard work at nigh, ie lamping. But could well be the owners as much as the cross/type. Because obedience and 'working' with the pups wasn't at the top of their list lol
-
Above post, only going on what I have actually witnessed. Not owned a beddy cross ............. because of said experiences lol
-
Been a few cracking litters of collie/whippets about the last couple of years. 1st cross, 5/8 3/8ths and 3/4 breds. Couple of members on here with em too. Be just as much, if not more use and more versatile and trainable than a beddy cross. Depending on your aspirations and needs I suppose though. No offence to small beddy cross owners. But with lamping listed as a requirement, some of these beddy crosses can be HELL if they miss! Lol. Should also point out, I know collie crosses, or any cross really, can also be hard work if not trained properly with recall etc, especially when lam

Plus, you wouldn't really want your dog to chip a couple of teeth as it struck at the tin, not good
-
Leave em in the tin, easier to roll ☺ ?
-
You go lamping beans?! Different I suppose ?
-
Deluded. Same as most people that think they've got a 'fast' saluki ?
-
Why are terriermen so hung up on names? I'm not a really keen terrier enthusiast, but all the better ones I have seen working have just been good dog bred to good bitch. All this name bullshit is just that, bullshit, used by people to sell pups to gullible people that know no better lol
-
If you've time on your hands, have you thought about breeding your own from a greyound bitch and using a working collie from any farmers that are willing to let you use one of their dogs?
-
?
-
Seen a couple of wheeler types work. Not for me personally, they tyre too quickly ?
-
Don't want to keep an argument going, but he definitely looks more bull than collie in him
-
Nice types there morton. How's the lurcher bred, deer/collie/grey?
-
Nice looking bitch mate, welcome ?
-
I know what you mean fella, but even as we speak on here now, we are being scrutinised. Words such as that, just give the antis, or as foxpack 2 would say, tree hugging rabbit shaggers lol, more to ensure there will be NO repeal of the ban ?
-
I get what you're saying bill. 'better looking' is probably a misnomer, better, sounder build etc, be more accurate. But all things being equal, most would choose the one which is more 'attractive' as it were
-
Yeah good types them, cracking temperament, always happy and keen and fairly easy to train. And she was fast and very agile. Very good worker, but not the best, for the 3 seasons I worked her, til she went missing from my garden whilst I was at work, and some 'scrappies' went through where I lived at the time, it was a fairly rural location. Mine had a little less beddy than yours though, but not much. Dam was collie/grey x beddy/grey sire was deer/grey x whippet/grey. And yes they were both genuinely bred, as I knew the owners of parents and grandparents, all more than decent do
-
Really like that pup poxon. Said a few weeks back, it's practically identical, and very similarly bred, to a bitch I bought in 1999 ?
