WhippetxBedlington or BedlingtonxWhippet

Which way round is most popular Bedlington Sire or Whippet Sire and why?

Blood on top mate. That's why collie studs are used over Greyhound bitches. The pup's are more likely to have the traits of the sire.

the largest of the two should always be the bitch you wouldnt put greyhound over collie but you put collie over greyhound as they give birth easy

My old Bitch was bred Whippet x Bedlington, great wee dug, best rabbit Dog I ever owned.

Well i always thought they threw more the dam ie collie x gretyhounds look mre like greyhounds than collies

Interesting post.. Interested to see more replies, mine was whippet sire and greyhound dam for obvious size reasons and turned out like a whippet, to make it more obvious which way would a bull x be sired? With whip/bedlington I think the sire would be the bedlington as the whippet is the larger of the 2..

personally i don't really see what the debate is here, i don't get this you inherit more from the dam or the sire lark, you get 50% from each, obviously every litter is different and you don't conveniently get 25% from each grandparent, that would make things too easy.
