get yourself a straight cross collie grey mate, think they make very good alrounders

been looking for a first cross but hard to find. found 2 pups of said cross

good honest dogs if correctly guided but for a first lurcher the half x might be to full on. I also think for a first x collie grey you yourself need the right temperament as they read alot in to your body language.

picking the pup up tmoro, gunna be fun introducing him to my other dogs jack russel x staffi and an ex racing greyhound. terrier thinks shes the bees kness and toughest thing on 4 legs lol.

the only thing with bedlington is the yapping its a commom facter in the breed ,do a search oh here and will see what i mean ,you will find hundreds of treads about this ,imo stay away from a beddy type dog

 

How many Beddy types have you actualy worked or seen working that yapped, or are you just going off what you have heard.

 

Cheers.

only ever ran with 2 and both done it ,but heard and seen plenty of treads on here about it

Talking of dog colour and other traits assosiated with it, i remember years ago a breeder of american cocker spaniels (the fella came reserve best at crufts the year a whippet won it for the first time) was telling me that if you ever buy a cocker, avoid the golden ones as in general they tend to be much more aggresive than the other coloured ones. So it does make you wonder if you can associate colour with other traits.

Think I've told you before nl, I've not seen loads of beddy x's at work, but NONE of them yapped on anything lol

The bedlington xs I’ve heard of that are yappers have always been by inpatient people  trying to enter them on the lamp as saplings at about 6months old telling people there ready for a few runs as there mature enough .... the answer is in my reply 

[NEWKID 26,138]

I've seen a few run, including mine and brothers half x, none yap at all on the lamp...only noise mine makes is if she's pushing anything bigger than a rabbit through cover.. and that's the same for a good mate who runs a first x and 3/4 bred off of the first x... both silent at night and on rabbits daytime, pushing big stuff in the day they let you know

I think that's the case with most yappers, to be honest. With most crosses/types.

I have no problem whatsoever, in waiting for a youngster to mature a bit, physically 'and' mentally, before I start them. I'm in no rush

Mate had a little red merle coll/whip/grey would give a yip if he didn't have the first slip on the lamp when you first got in the field lol, other than that only time I've know dogs yap on the lamp is when they unfit or over matched
