dog whisperer 11 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 ive heard that rillington are the dog b*@*cks.Most of them seem to big these days for earth work Quote Link to post
twotone 6 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 You'll find bedlingtons' anything from 14" right up to 19". In regards to Rillington ones I think you would be hard pushed to find a "line" thats not heavily diluted nowadays. Remember bedlingtons are the same as any other working terrier, don't be taken in by the name go for worker bred ones and you stand a better chance. Quote Link to post
