buster gonads 862 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I,v been in and around running dogs for 40 years or more and cant ever remember seeing a 3/4 GH 1/4 beddy, never mind seen one work, there maybe a good reason for this, maybe there's better alternatives out there for folk wanting a 3/4 cross, i,v seen plenty of Beddy x GH and plenty of 3/4 Whippets 1/4 Beddy's, infact i run one. Does anyone work a 3/4 GH 1/4 Beddy and if so how do you have any pic,s or experience's you could share, cheers, buster. Quote Link to post

Lads dont seem to mind 3/4 whippet though morton, no one says its too diluted then, there's been times when iam out i would have liked my 3/4 whippet to be around 26tts, but her being 22" as proberbly kept me out of jail . 2 Quote Link to post

"not much got away from him" was want to lose my attention from your post,if honesty ever played any part in lurcher ownership,poetic licence frayed the edges,unless it was Spud owned by Gary bullshitter. 2 Quote Link to post

An honest Beddy hybrid is worth its salt,an honest Deerhoundy is worth its weight in 22 carat,id not source a Deerhoundy from a puppy farmer,id not source a Beddy lurcher from a nugget mine. 1 Quote Link to post
