  1. Aint that the truth with a lot of working dogs these days especially bedlingtons im sure there are some honest souls around who tell the truth about their dogs. As ive said before the big downside is the dogs coat but im sure there are some good coated ones around. Training wise he was what i would call mule headed took a lot of patience. Nose work/work cover/ hunt up im very happy with. working below ive never done so i suppose i dont ask too much of the dog to be honest but he does what i require catches a bit of fur and feather now and again marks well and is good as gold around the ferrets
  2. Rabbit numbers have not been great for quite some time. What i like about this dog is he leaves no stone unturned so to speak. He never stops searching checking works close to me if a burrow is occupied he will find it.
  3. Was he a russell/whippet Tony ?
  4. Isn't that a wee russell/whip on that old out of town video, when he was out ferreting?Atb Great that is, cracking wee dog. Wish OOT was still on.Atb A few years ago someone did me 9 dvds 4 episodes on each one of oot fantastic to watch. One episode is of a bloke rearing kingfishers and releasing them back in the wild the most intresting viewings i have ever watched.

  6. He was only a pup in the pic 9 now so age is catching up with him always been a very good marking dog
  7. Cant miss the mark with this one started marking as soon as he had had his jabs and was up and about.
  8. A lad i used to know had 2 russell/whippet types a long time ago handy ferreting mooching catch in cover dogs used to work old railway embankments copses waste ground etc suited him fine a couple of rabbits the odd bird he was happy. The majority of lads near me wanted lamp dogs daytime hare dogs horses for courses. Limited in what they could do but one mans meat is another mans poison as they say. .The ones i saw were good little opportunists. Forgot to add they would work cover well and hit brambles like little rockets.
  9. ive watched meg work good marker a robust keen little bitch who never stops.
  10. My first lurcher 1986 saw a fair few of this type in the 80s/90s . Trainable dogs good drive the nose on mine was very good maybe as MF says some suspect on the stamina side but i liked them.to be honest.
  11. Cracking pics AT looks like a good day was had by all.

  13. A cracker of a pic never tire of seeing the old ones.
  14. When you get on a bike and sit on your bollocks.
