dazzert66 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 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. Hi Phil I'll be bringing Biff back in the summer to give to Martyn he's a good un for a beddy.

dazzert66 0 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 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 Hi griffo i got a dog (rillingtonxNB's Toby) he didn't want to know earth work until he was about 2 years and he'd seen other dogs doing it now he's mustard on fox and coypu but a bit hard for badger,aint got the nose to find or the eagerness of a black dog but he finds eventually,just be paitent with them.
