wuyang 513 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Your best bet is ask in the working bedlington forum......theres a lurcher section on there....or ask on the terrier section.....ive found them very helful and knowlegeable. http://www.workingbedlington.co.uk/index.php Quote Link to post

morton 5,367 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The main working ability in Nickys Beddys will come from the stud he as been known to use,which as fell blood in it. Quote Link to post
