Working Bedlingtons 2005

[david2363 42]

hi, i've got a beddy bitch who's 10months old and she's had a few rabbits ferreting but nothing that bites back yet. At the mo she has no interest to go to ground even when other terriers push past to go to ground, i know she's young and don't want her to enter to fox till she's older but has anyone else had a beddy reluctant when young but that now does earthwork?

 

thanks griffo

 

Griffo, what lines is she from?

Some dogs will fly to ground at 10 months (or before) and yet, some dogs are nowhere near ready at that age.

The temptation is always there to get them going early, but the dog must be mature enough mentally and physically to cope

with what goes on down there.

Then one day, you might be lucky enough to get her 1st one in a drain or some easy place, and it will all hopefully click into place.

Mick, use a bit of psychology on the farmers/landowners.

Get yourself some cards printed - pest control angle. If you leave one with them , they are far more likely to remember you and call you back.

Let them know your doing them a favour by doing it free.

A mate of mine in Scotland tells them he'll do fence repairs etc on his way round - the fat cvnt probably breaks more fences than he mends

 

That dog of yours is a handier size than mine, so I'm sure his time will come.

It doesn't seem like 5 minutes ago since I came on here last year telling you all about my Beddy pup.

A lot has happened since then, and he's proved himself a decent wee dog on the rats, rabbits squirrels etc.

I've been trying to get a fox with him for a while now and this frosty morning it all came together.

First earth I tried this morning (a one holer) dog in , keen to go, 20 foot in and only two feet down I broke through just behind him and a very nice vixen.

Not a lot of baying going on, the young dog had the fox by the neck, the fox had the dog through the foot but was fading fast.

Quick dispatch job done.

To be truthful young Spike will probably never see the amount of foxes as some dogs on here, or even my previous dogs, due to time constraints, the fvcking ban and his size, but he'll see some action this winter thats for sure.

A few pics taken on my phone.

 

 

 

 

Well done fella, nice to hear someone doing the proper job, excellent mate !!!!

hi, she's from gary newcombe/stevens rillington lines. She's quite mature for her age and is raring to go on rabbits at the mo although she has showed no interest fro going to ground, i was just wondering if any one had similar experience when there beddys were younger.

 

thanks griffo

[swanseajack 227]

Ey up all !!!

 

Just a quickie, I've been nagging a guy that owns a bedlington bitch out of my old dog Yogi. Nagging, pestered the fecker for a few years now, offered him good money for it as well. Luck has it (for me) that he is not in a position to keep the bitch, so I parted with a few quid and bought it for myself... Will get some, pics up.. Also I've got Millies sire down here on loan, see what sort of dog he is in the flesh !!!!

[Limb 31]

Don't want to hijack your thread lads, but if any of you lads who work your bedlingtons to ground are planning on using a good dog accross a greyhound i'd be very interested in a bitch pup. I'm in S. Wales, but would be willing to travel within reason for a well bred pup. Thanks.
