shaaark 10,140 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 A good pure greyhound dog,. Don't listen to the 'GARBAGE' about the bad feet etc etc which people on here will tell you, they're the ones which have never run such a dog 1 Quote Link to post
Jedi Master 30 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi mate we were in a similar position to you a number of years ago, a friend of mine had a beddy/greyhound half cross that was superb on all quarry he truly gave 100% the problem was he only stood 22 tts so was a little light and lacked a touch of pace to be a true all rounder so when it came time to put some new blood in the kennels we put him over my Irish bred coursing greyhound from rander kennels she ran in the 2002 Waterloo cup, she was superb in her own right and a breed apart from the track greyhounds, she would happily take rabbit,hare and fox singlehanded day and night. Obviously the resulting pups were 3/4 grey 1/4 beddy both my mate and I kept a pup off the litter opting for ones that had thrown to the beddy rather than the racier ones they are both around the 25 / 26 tts mark and were both fully single handed dogs on anything. I have absolutely no regrets over the pairing if you use a proper coursing greyhound it will put all the size strength and speed into the mix you need the bedlington in the mix will do the rest no need for any bull. And as for feet with a proper coursing greyhound it's not an issue mine did brake a couple of toes over the years but she did run some rough ground the 3/4 grey 1/4 beddy pup I kept off her has never had any problems with his feet. The only other thing I would consider putting over a half cross beddy/grey would be a 3/4 grey 1/4 collie I personally don't see any advantage to any other cross going over it for an all rounder. 1/4 beddy is enough for it to do anything you need. 4 Quote Link to post
General lee 979 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 I would of said a straight greyhound or a 3 quarter greyhound quarter bedlington keep to the same blood and they should do what you want them to 1 Quote Link to post
BIGLURKS 874 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Not sure if it was Bigliks or Bigears that had pictures of a beddy cross put to coursing stock.. Dogs looked smashers and from what he said were multi purpose.. Depends what your after tho.. It might just be easier to buy a pup in You mean this dog Quote Link to post
