You need to read the news and info page, there's some helpful hints on 'HOW TO' on there, if you need any help PM me although I'm new to this site methinks I got the hang of it... Look forward to seeing your pics... Nose down, arse up.....

Whey hey.................excellent. I started this thread because I work Bedlingtons or Bedlington Hybrids or Mongrels, care I not what others might call them. If the discussion of what to call them needs to escalate perhaps another thread shoud be started and the same question asked, I'am sure it has been discussed and argued over at length before and to quote Hybred (on my first page) 'it gets quite boring'. Answer it here if need be, but I'd rather read and dicuss workers and see pics of workers be it purebred or crossbred. CHEERS Limb, I'm glad someone not from the Bed

Good question and not unexpected, I'm sure the purists out there will have all the 'correct' answers to this, but I'll put my tuppence worth in for what it's worth. "A Patterdale isn't one if it has Russell in it's make up, it is a Patt/Russell cross. A Border with Lakeland in it is a Border/Lakie cross." To quote what you've already stated above, When the pat/russell cross is bred back to a pat, it becomes a Pat with a lil bit of Russell in it, breed these back to another pat and as long as they look like pats they invariably became pats or that's what the owners would have you believ

Was thinking the same myself Molly.... .... SINDASOX <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Molly and Sindasox, glad you like it, let's hope we have a few more postings and pics. Lurcher is Gantry, mixed bed/whippet breeding. Bedlington is Tango.

What dogs do you have Printer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Swanseajack I also have Bedlingtons, although most are pensioners now and I've not seriouslly worked them in the last 10 years. My first bitch a 3/4 bed 1/4 border called Bella (BluexVic) is the foundation to the line I keep, I put her to a pure Bedlington of the same lines and carried on from there. I must admit after a break of 10 years and not really doing much with regards to the dogs I'm really looking foward to this coming season, I can only put it down to continually reading these forums and realising what I've

I can't and won't give a general opinion on Bedlingtons as I don't have the experience or knowledge, I can only give an opinion on what I work and it is just my opinion. They work and work well, some of the progeny have been hard and as game as any terrier, Killing and drawin foxes, staying in tight awkard places taking and giving punishment til dug to or bolting from easy earths, some were only as good as the next average dog (be it Patterdale, Lakeland, Border or Russell) some just did not make the grade at all. An outcross to a lakeland was used to put some fire back in this line,

All my dogs have part Lakeland in them, Yogi is bred out of Tango/Rusty both were 3/4 Bed 1/4 Lakeland, same breeding diff litter Bron/Cochyn Jack is out of Yogi and a bitch from Halifax again same lines. . Bitch on left has border/lakeland in her make up bred in Halifax. Bitch on right is full sister to Tango (3/4 Bed 1/4 Lakeland). These are pics taken mid 90's.

Let's hope someone out there does know, be interesting to find out what they turned out like and if they are in working homes.. Hopefully they might post some pics ? What dogs do you have Printer?
-
that's the name of the bitch, sorry my memories a bit lacking. She was litter sister to Bron and if I remember correctly she was thicker set... GN was amazed with her ability on rats spent most of her time possessed trying to find them around his sheds. What did the pups turn out like? any about are they working?
-
Clough never made the grade, although he worked well on top, he (dare i say it openly on a forum) JIBBED on an easy dig. Found him a new home away from working. Pic of Clough actually doing some work. Who had the bitch from Nailor & Penny, was she bred from? GN had one think he called her Fern anyone know if this was bred from or where she ended up ?
-
Nice bitch, I believe she's from Williams and not myself. Looking at her breeding she's litter sister to Cochyn owned by Williams, who is the sire of Tango, Rusty. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Swanseajack how do you rate J.W's stuff, you probably know a mate of mine J.M from Pontypridd.............Carreg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know J.M. but haven't spoken to him for years, what's he up to these days has he still got bedlingtons? As for rating William's stuff, that's an open ended question where do you start, where does it end..... Border cross, show cross,

On a sour note Lost both my pups this week due to parvo or some other viral infection, both had been jabbed on the 25 July at 6 weeks old. Had a Lurcher bitch pup 11 month old given to me, guy told me she had been jabbed, I asked specifically because I had pups, anyway she caught a fox, only to succumb to a viral infection probably parvo 7 days later and died in the vets. Thought I had got lucky as the pups had managed to be O'k since, one went down rapidly on Sat/Sun died in Kennel, just had a phone call from the vet, other one has to be put to sleep as she's not going to make it.

There are one or two of us that actually 'work' bedlingtons my two young uns, that i'm getting fit for the winter at the moment are comin on fine, pushed out 9 foxes Sunday morning, whilst 'exercising' that's the term u got to use now as hunting is illegal and it's summer anyway. Meant to go out for an hour, ended up 4 1/2 hrs 6.00-10:30, hard cover lots of it and reed beds, they're like teabags today. Couldn't work out why Jack was so quiet this morning (Mon) must have been bolloxed. Wait til the winter....... long time comin.... P.S. MUSHROOMS ARE OUT.....

Got myself a lurcher 11 months old, guy said she'd been fully jabbed I asked because I had pups. 12 months old, terriers put a fox out for her, she catches, I'm chuffed. Week later she's in the vets PARVO, topped of with peritinitus (think that's how you spell it) 13 months no lurcher. Get em jabbed whatever the cost.......
