and i've been offered a bedlington whippet x bedlington whippet pup 

which i think this pup should fit the bill just fine.  but what do you guys think?

I had one bred that way in the late 80s, she only made 18 tts, but so far the best ferreting dog I have owned,

Always admired the prey drive on the ped whippets don't think I've ever come across one without it. A mate has one only as a pet and he's never been into hunting i see him now and again down the local woods i walk around were he has it on the lead all the time as it feks off hunting and cocks him a deaf one when he shouts it back. 😆

If your lamping nice small grassy paddocks then you would get away with something 22 and under, But if your running winter drilled fields especially if sometimes the game is going away from you then something a bit more up in the leg would be what I'd be looking for
