The only thing the site experts on here are any good at beating is their bishop,thats why the site is full of five fingered widows.

In the early 80,s and for the next 20 years i usually managed a quid a bunny and £1.50 a pheasant,the dales and pheasant pens around ilkley kept me in fuel and beer tokens.I was on a pheasant shoot at Harewood in the late 90,s,beating before the elitist bashers accuse me of being something more than my class,they offered £20 a day or as many pheasants as you wished,the rest where thrown away.

A licence to do what?,you can get a car licence and twats drive illegaly,you can get a licence to be a doctor and be struck off for incompetence,you can get a bar licence and not hold your liquor.A licence to work terriers is about as much use as a chocolate ashtray,who would implement it?,who would regulate it?,who would endorse it?,the fecking politicians that wish to see the end of us.We cannot govern ourselves because of the feckwit minority within our ranks and no amount of regulation or licence will curb the ambitions of the dross we all know.

Thats the second post you,ve posted in 2 days that i wish id wrote.

Thats an healthy looking mutt,best of luck.

Its the usual case on here the folk that pass judgement on a topic they know feck all about and are instant experts on other folks kennels that they also know feck all about.its the same as a shark with no teeth,some think its a Dope when others know its a Tope.

What a naive sort you are,u ain,t seen it si it don,t exist,take your head out of your arse and only then will you smell the roses.

Mutt looks a useful sort hope she pans out for you.I would,nt be to concerned about the tail,Beddy,s are,nt docked and ive yet to see one disadvantaged,work wise,because of it,the beddy/fell dog i have here,he,s thrown directly to the fell,is not docked and it does not concern me.Folk need to get used to the reality that many a working bred terrier will not be docked,in the political climate we live in,it won,t make a difference to how they work only how they will be judged in a ring.

Its taken me over 30 years to get to where i am now,ill tell you why folk struggle,they want instant success,take shortcuts and heed the wrong company.If i wished you to have my number id give you it.

My lads his own man now rt,i educated him the best i could,i gave him an head start with mutts,i wiped his arse and nose for years,then he became a man,took the terriers to a level i cannot compete at now and finds his own company.Id never attempt to put a total stranger in touch with him,he,d have harsh words to say.I stated earlier there are lads on here that know and hunt with him,if the lad can be vouched for then it will work through the grapevine and one of them will drop him a pm,if not then its what it is.

The FMWTC shows are the only ones worth contributing to now,all your brass goes to a good cause.Give my lad a shout and ask him to turn up Rat face,he can,t abide shows and won,t attend if i ask him,he probably will if you give him a nudge. -
If you had read one of my earlier posts you would have seen that my lad now as all the adult workers,i only have 4 pups,3 at 7 months of age and a dog nearing 14 months,im hoping to find a decent home for him before the young bitches hit their first season,thus im probably about 6 months away from having anything to enter.It would,nt really matter because ive no interest or intention to ever seek new hunting company now.My lad is happy enough to meet and greet anybody with honest intent,a couple of lads on here know him and if you are one of the decent types about then no doubt you may receive

I owned a digging dog that spent more time recovering than working,whilst he healed the Beddy,s carried the work load,i live in Keighley,my lad in Leeds and i can say with a little certainty the gear is Oxford educated,well some.Plus they see plenty of graft in hound country.Its naive to believe the Black terriers are the be all and end all of terrier work and expectation and nothing else can compare,the facts are that much of the black stuff bred now is just as useless as many another type.

Only 1?.

My lad as the adult terriers,all heavily Beddy infused,out at least 3 times a week,they literally push hundreds of fox out of cover a season,they bolt more than their share and are dug to a damn site more than many a digging terrier.These terriers are bred for bushing and fox work and need to be of a size that matches their graft,mine breed true to type,There is a lineage behind mine that can be traced back over many,many generations of terriers that graft below to a standard that most would be happy to adhere to.The least worked mutt out of his 3 had a decent season,the other 2 the majority o

When you start needing books and the tinternet to further your hunting knowledge then i fecking despair and realise the games more fecked than i wish to accept.

Yup he,s going to breed a shithawk litter to further the cause of the working bedlington and not sell the surplus shithawk dross,then a few months down the line the owners of these shithawk dross will not line them,spin a few yarns about their working prowess and advertise another litter of dross masquerading as WORKING Bedlingtons,i admire your naievety.

GOOD COLLIE X GREY'S THIN ON THE GROUND IT SEEMS.

You won,t find an argument from me with those percentages,yet it only takes 1 or 2 folk to breed right to start to get those percentages down a tad.With every litter of shite sold the Beddy reputation suffers,with every honest litter the balance is hard to balance,a few diehards are hell bent on putting the record straight,if that means upsetting a few feckwits and egos so be it.While im on here ill take up the challenge as i know what a genuine Beddy brings to the table.

You should have said Bull greyhound then. -
The finest lamping jukel i ever had the pleasure to keep company with was 25" collie/grey-saluki/grey bitch,she was as near to perfection as it gets,her owner played his part.That bitch killed thousands and thousands of Dales bunny,s,she was stolen the lad stopped hunting soon after.

Id much rather spoil a thread than an honest terrier just to line my pocket and ego.

morton replied to japs eye's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Im of the opinion a lurcher cannot be a TRUE lurcher unless its heavily Collie infused,many have sought greener pastures until they realised the lea of youth was the most verdant.The folk that knew and know how to get the best or live with the quirks of the TRUE lurcher are a dying breed now. -
The reason i keep Bedlingtons is because they are the most versatile of terrier,they will ratch about on top with few equals and will enter below and graft as well as any terrier,the vast majority of the graft mine encounter is above ground and anything they push or find to ground i expect them to deal with as a terrier should,a Bedlington that refuses or is not interested in entering is shite,is bred from shite and will only produce shite,i hope that clears it up for you.
