You're not hijacking the thread mate, it's here to discuss Bedlingtons, I wish more people would post on here and get more pics up... in response to your question, the pup I have, I have already hand stripped him to get the coat neat, I took all the long hair of him by hand a while back now, during the summer I just cut them back with a pair of scissors nothing fancy just trim it short (try not to nick them-they dont like it ) during the winter give them plenty of work, getting in tight in earths normally releases any loose flimsy hairs. bushing in tight brambles works too... keep s

Thanks for your opinions lads, will let you know what happens over the next couple of days.... Here's a task for anyone that wants to take it up, Maybe Topper could organise it... The Heart of Wales show is next weekend, apparently it's the show that is actively promoting 'Working Bedlingtons' so hopefully there will be a good turnout of typey working stock there.. I can't make it, although I would really like to be there to see what's on offer... Anyone got a good camera, anyone handy enough to make a board with lines in inches on it in grid form... marking it at the 14" to 19"

You're right, I have said I wasn't 100% convinced by him, he hadn't done anything wrong, bit on the lazy/slow side. He Killed a bitch pup I had, got some tempermental issues which seem to be getting better as he gets older, but to date he hasn't failed ie he does his job and does it well, works exactly like Milly, up and at em and mixing it... similar breeding, dam same, Yogi's his sire...I don't think I'd have any issues or worries about size as they're pretty much level.... I know he's still a young dog but my options are limited as you know, do I wait another season, I seen enough fro

Perhaps I will not have to travel to far I know his breeding, I know what he works like and yes he does 'work'................ What you reckon ??

Cheers for your opinion Gaz, always appreciated.. I agree with you in as much as there probably are some good Bedlingtons of the right type and substance that dont get the chance they deserve, I also believe there are some out there that are getting dug to by lads that A. Don't use the internet B. Dont want the publicity of having a digging Bedlington.. As you say most lads use black dogs and the like, and use tried and tested stock.. the outcross with other breeds of terriers has been done to death and if i do it again the beddy will be so far removed from what it should be i may as well kee

Milly's coming into season... seeing as I only had one pup last time I am going to breed her again, 'to the right dog' anyone know of any ?? title of this thread is dated 2005 and I have yet to see or here of anythng that would make me travel to breed her... ANY SUGGESTIONS LADS AND LASSES... ??????? Something that works, really works, stays until dug to etc etc, of the right type, meaning right size, conformation, temperament, from good lines, cmon then give us your answers, nothing accepted on a postcard. What do you terrier lads on here think, what should I be breeding her

common myth that one.. there's 3 lights top middle botton, just see which one is on... pink and white ball in a poorly lit snooker hall.. always get's me.. makes my mates laugh.. there a big sign in a car park locally which reads 50 quid fine if outstaying 2 hours.. trouble is it's red on a dark blue background.. -
1 in 4 men are colour blind, most are red and green deficient to some degree, according to the colour blind chart (colours in circles) I'm totally colour blind.. here's an example for ya, I cant see the bottom half of the welsh flag in some lights.. (red on green) When i was in school the physics teacher wrote on a blackboard in red chalk IF YOU CANT READ THIS THEN YOU ARE COLOUR BLIND ... then asked the question... It stops you entering any of the forces, police, army etc.. couldnt even be a a security guard.. what colour was the car have a look here take your own test

Out for a stroll with me camera I spied a load of black moths.. so I decide to photograph them, then to my surprise and delight, zoom lense on I realise the colours on them... people who are colour blind will understand what i mean ....

spotted this a few times, today was the first time I've managed to take some pics... been having a bit of a debate with my father as he's been saying it's an eagle of some sort ( he sees it all the time) now my opinion has been, I'll eat my hat if it's anything other than a Buzzard... Take a look for yourself, I don't want guesses as to what it is I want an informed opinion from those that know... ps it's a damm sight bigger than any of the buzzards around here... Any thoughts anyone ???

Hi Terrier man, I come from Enghland originaly near Patterdale. All dogs breeds are the result of cross breeding, Manchester terrier/ patterdale/cairn /jack s/yorkshire/bedeale/parsons . Do You have a problem with hybrid vigor or trying to get the best of both breeds. No tyhe dog did,nt just get the bitch, as It says "DESIGNER" I could have called them "Navan Terriers" or even "Meath Terriers " or even "Leinster Terriers" or how about "Cairn Russells" I have one ordered to America at a lot more than the hefty price tag, If they are worth having they are worth paying for. Bothb Dog and

Cheers!! you can't get giraffes or jibbers in holes, terrier means earth work.. I do agree his head could be a bit stronger but there's nothing lacking in this dog for guts and determination.. Topper you've handled him fella, what you think.. ???
