Sounds as though you got a short straw mate I’ve been there in the past with a bedlington x whippet f1 bred from worker to worker the bedlington used was a decent size An the whippet was 21tts I ended up with a 17tts half cross complete shit on the lamp due to being small an slow but let my hart rule over head hung on to her just for ferreting an bushing she turned in to a really good bitch for nocking about with but I’d never have another to be fair as they don’t suit my needs or do I feel the need to be that restricted. I’ve seen a few decent bedlington x greyhounds in my time that were good for a bit of everything It’s all a short straw game man

Imho beddys are just too weak for lamping and don’t have enough wind for the day game 

agreed for ferreting and mooching their the go to type , but to compare a beddy to a good solid collie type is madness
