The border terrier was used by George for the same reason he first used the Lakeland terrier because he couldn’t find suitable Bedlingtons to breed with his and he needed new blood but wasn’t prepared to use just any Bedlington,he didn’t need an outcross to make them better workers he needed new blood. Printer on this forum has some really nice border Bedlingtons.

but did not George himself say the border outcross was a mistake ?

My point was borders and Lakeland’s were used by George because he couldn’t get the right type of bedlington not that borders were superior,I’ve had a border cross but only 1/16 and the border blood could still been seen in coat colour ,I’ve seen some nice border crosses but I don’t like the 1/2 or 3/4 I think you need more bedlington blood,I heard George said it was a mistake but don’t know how true it is,I could see why he would say it as Lakeland x bedlingtons looked really nice at 3/4 beddie 1/4 Lakeland.

his fell line was good to and threw some handy well built stuff,? must admit some of the above do look ok ,but most border hybreds i have seen are hideous looking things and lets not forget borders can be very late starters ? most now are using the fell out cross so it does say it all really?

Have you got beddies now or had them in the past moocher? If so let’s have some pics.

The fact that somebody would be upset over a dash of white on a dogs toes or chest is probably part of their downfall when working ability has to take 2nd place. Who cares if they are pink if they work. If fell blood had to be added then they weren't that good to begin with. Let them be cross bred and if they work who cares if they are purebred or try to claim they are!

The reason we put fell into our bedlingtons is to keep the size down and improve the coat , ive dogs here with really thick jackets you have a job to part it and find skin they can stand out all day in the rain shake and there almost dry , the fell works well for us , top

Couple of good points there. Got a couple of mates, and a couple of others that used to live in my old area, that have owned and worked some of the 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16th bred stuff. Some of  them directly from george newcomes, the rest bred from those dogs. All of them good  ALLROUND workers. 

Others that I've heard of, in different parts of south wales supposed to be good digging dogs. No pure kc types though
