Yes i think you are correct in what you say

[TOPPER 1,809]

well for what its worth i work bedlingtons , pats and lakies all mine are diggin dogs as iam not into bushing and the bedlingtons hold there own there a lot calmer than a pat or a lakie but when you flick the switch you have 100% aggresion from the bedys , the best dog in my kennel is bedy - lakie cross and hes an awesome dog just a tad unfriendly!!!!!!!

Get one mate, i've seen a couple of bedlingtons work and they would put others to shame, funbob where abouts up north are you talking about as i know a few people in the north east that work them

Poodles were/are gun dogs in france, but the miniture ones were really lap dogs it was the standard that worked

 

saying that i knew a miniture poodle owned by a pigeon keepers wife that was a demon on rats under the pigeon sheds and would work a hedge like a terrier/hound after rabbits! and it had a sensible haircut one length all over!

 

good luck with the bedlington pup, i have always liked the look of the working types ones and have worked a really good first cross beddie greyhound

Iallways thought they came from France,but ive just read in this weeks S Ts that the breed started in what is now Germany ,over two hundred years ago .

They are one of those that could truly be an all rounder. Digging, ratting or bushing if you get the right one, you should do as said in previous posts check out parents, make sure they work and if their type of work suits then you have it.

Just like any worker you only get out what you put in, but best start with the right minerals.

Well to be fair they are never out the hedges, always flushing things. I think its an ideal dog for me

hey lad any chance off a few pics off the beddys!

[sh 08 17]

Have you got an email address or there is two on the front page. Thats the parents of the pups

[waidmann 105]

ive no experiance of beddys or poodle for that matter( i know some poodle pointers,headstrong but good workers.)

if the dogs are working in the style that suits you then go for it. you are better getting a pup from your mate than anybody else.

 

as to being too big for ground work. the legs are not the problem its the span which would hinder the dog to earth.if the dog wants to he will!!

all the best with the pup.
