try a 3/4 bred whippet then , 3/4 whippet 1/4 bedlington , mine is the most caring dog ive had , and also the best worker , wouldnt change her for the world :) yes the bed/whip are not the most attractive but they do the biz and are gentle , whippets are spot on to . im happy with my 3/4 bred though :)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh how can you say that :icon_eek: - they are stunning wee dogs! I got my first Beddy x when I was pregnant with my first child. She was a fantastic natured dog, great with everyone and proved to be a great wee rabbiting dog too. Have to agree though that any sighthound, esp Beddy x or Deerhound types, would be good :) Heres some pics.

Well if you want an attractive dog then pick something you like the look of...

and with the kids its the way you bring it up...

any pup would be good with kids as posts state . just get a one with decent parents , and the nature of the pup should come naturaly , lots of attention will help this and young kids will never leave a puppy alone , as for the breeding , go with what you want , that part is upto you :)

If you want a genuine good all round working dog and good with children buy a beddlington whippet research the parents particulary the Beddlington side socialise it well with the children and you will not go far wrong .

Atractive dogs hmmmm when looking for a dog I tend to first of all look at what I want it for,where I am going to keep it ,I then pick what is best for my needs looks dont come in to it.

Good luck with your search it is a minefield out there

whippet/bedlington are a good loyal dog

Id recommend a whippet or a whippet/bedlington cross, my 3 daughters do junour handling all over the UK and my eldist enjoys going out on the farm lamping with our hounds. Heres a pic of my daughter in the south west whippet clubs junour handling team last summer, shes the one in the middle
