Thanks troter.

going back to the size/strength of each cross, surely a pure wheaton is a good bit stronger than a straight beddy?

if you used on the same greyhound bitch as a rule the wheaton X offspring would be the more powerful types?

but i'm no biologist !

if you get a wheatenx bred from the right stuff, and a bedlingtonx from the right stuff i think they'd be on even terms... even more so if they was 3/4 breds..

 

id have either breeds over a bull x any day

ive never heard of any 3/4 greyhound 1/4 beddys not saying they dont exist tho

if anybody has any pics of 1 stick it up

 

edited to say both breeds are built completely diff and when crossed with greyhound shows

which is why its about what suits you

3/4 Greyhound 1/4 Beddy 26"...

 

 

Will be my new dog on Saturday.

 

Gaz it looks well hope he does you proud ATB

do you think size matters in strengh and heart ?

[spindolero 1,126]

heart, grit, guts are more important

but if you marry that to size and strength then you have a winning combination

 

here in west wales we have always been limited to quarry historically , no deer or hare to speak of

so lack of blazing speed is less of an issue for running dogs

yes as determined as the heart may be sometimes size beats it

imho ive seen small dogs do the job but sometimes it not fair to let them take the abuse

Cheers mate. Looking forward to building that bond and seeing what he can do.

Seen some good beddy crosses and wheaten crosses.. For me it would be the wheaten. Nothing against the bedlington cross, just personal preference.

 

The way I see it if I was dependent on my Lurcher for fox control in all ways, then there would be no other cross but wheaten for me. Cheers

well this thread has got interesting . i had a beddy whippet many many years ago. and it was a little soldier . at nineteen inch to the shoulder and could only be discribed as lightly built. but he really did have a big heart. one story about (old grey mac) was the first time he entered to fox was below ground. we had dug down to a little vixen and she was in rock sitting behind a stone ledge we had used a lakie dog to dig down and he had been used sore so was pulled back and wasnt fit to use again. i wasnt far from my mothers house so i borrowed one of her russells this was written off in short time so we where stuck for an answer to the problem as it was not far but it was tight and awkward.

 

all this time the little beddy whippet was tied back not seeming to be interested. i loosed him off to see if he was interested and he squeezed his way in and bang. he was on not a sound apart from bumping and grunting you cuold just see his back legs stiffen and he humped and hauled for a good while and then out it came. he was badly bitten about his fine little muzzle but was neither up nor down the following day.

 

when i compare him to a good wheaten x. its no contest the wheaten wins hand down . there really is no comparison. totally different animals as far as i'm concerned. both have there place . but very different types . northernlite i really like the look of your dogs.

 

if anyone would care to put some beddy /whippet pics up . i will put up pics of a wheaten/whippet .for comparison. they are like chalk and cheese. this is just my opinion
