if you put the right dogs together its a very good mix and can produce some real good workers the problem is finding the right dogs

theres a few off us dye hards that are digging to bedys , getting the right size bedy is your biggest problem as theres a lot off donkeys about mine are all 13--14 inch digging dogs no bunny huggers

To echo what others have said, problem will be finding the right dog. Crosses can result in very game dogs, but also very lame dogs. I was with a bloke who owned 2 lurchers, collie x saluki and they had the worst of both breeds.

My diging partner had a bedxpatt up until a few year ago.The dog died off old age.He was a very good fox dog,brilliant dog to find and would hund cover like a hound,screaming on foxs,but their the same as any other cross,you have to get it right.
