The Working Bedlington Terrier - Who Works Them?

[JackBrown 3]

hi folks,

 

my post is aimed at other bedlington owners who work their dogs on large numbers of rats and below who have stories and photos to share, their experiences of days using the bedlington and how they find them in comparison to other terrier breeds.

 

I keep a pair of Belington Terriers, a small bitch of just over two and will be tried below ground this season she is made up of rillington / gutchcommon and mink stone breeding stands at 14" tts she is mad keen up to now, she is yet to meet Reynard below yet but has flushed a few from cover and will check earths.

 

also I have a 7 month old dog pup standing about 15 " tts now bred from similar breeding who was gifted to me by a friend. he is rillington / gutchcommon penny is starting to drop, and coming along nicely with lots of time put in. he also is to work below if makes the grade too.

 

ill post photos of my dogs and days out soon as I can..

 

please feel free to comment

 

Thanks Jack.

I'm sure there has been threads about working beddies before, type bedlington in to the search bar top right of the page they should come up, from memory I think there are members called Rory and Topper that hunt beddies , atb Craic

It's ashame that there isn't more working bedlington terriers around... Very few lads work them these days

True,for every 100 litters of working Bedlingtons bred id not own 99 % of them.They are out there and meet more working terrier prejudice than any terrier ever bred,possibly because of the 99 % of feckwits,ego,s and chancers that have sneaked into the breed,fecking dollar and ribbon chasers.

Its the same with every terrier breed, not just Bedlingtons. I was at a gamefair last month and showed my non-descript black working terrier and was astounded with some of the terriers on show. Showy, shitty things that have never seen work and to my eye never looked like what I imagine when I think of a Patterdale. With that shower of shit about it won't be long 'til the breed is on the decline.

There chances and money makers in all breeds but in the case off the bedlington type there are lads out there working them but it's a small number compared to other breeds . There a thread on here called rock piles there's a couple of picture of my on there ATB RT
