The secret to this cross is without doubt the quality of the Bedlington used.

If the dog you are talking about is a genuine rillington bred dog then you could be onto a winner.

My mate bred a litter out of newcombes blue when George was still alive and every dog out of the litter were exceptional workers taking all quarry and my mates was also highly trained.

Lads who got pups out of this litter were coming back for years to try and get another.

In respect to your comments about the greyhound my major concern would be the line of breeding of the greyhound in respect to soundness and lack of long term injuries within that line of breeding not just the dog you are using.

A friend much more knowledgeable than me about greyhounds only ever uses a certain line of greyhounds for breeding lurchers in respect to throwing dogs which are sound.

His words the line is tough as old boots.

Your comments about it being a fighter so throwing a gamer dog are irrelevant if the Bedlington is genuine rillington  bred dog the pups will be game.

Neil Beacon is the only person who I have come across who had genuine rillington Bedlington's they were a superb stamp of Bedlington with my mate having a dog out of his breeding.

It has been a good rabbiting dog with it being the best constructed and coated genuine first cross I have ever seen.

I have seen a lot of talk on here about rillington bedlingtons but nobody seems to know where they went when George Died.

In respect to size of genuine first cross bedlingtons 22 inch seems to be about standard for the ones I have had and also my mates.

Even the dog he had out of newcombes blue which was tall for a Bedlington was only 22 inch his one of Neil Beacon was 22 inch one from hearbreak fell  kennels he had was 22 inch one I had from heartbreak fell kennels was 22 inch and my current dog bread out of a Gutchcommon bred dog with genuine pedigree is 22 inch all dogs. 

My current dog is an excellent rabbiting dog and both dogs have been superb dogs to live with but not as good a coat as the Neil Bacon dog.

The marking and scenting of my current dog is excellent with dozens and dozens of rabbits have gone  into the bag due to this. Some of the lines and takes he has done across the moor we ferret on unseen rabbits amazes me. Also we ferret some massive sets and when you think it is cleared and you turn round and see him marking single holes which deliver more to the bag happens every time out.

I don't work any other quarry but a litter brother to mine took all quarry with a lad in the north east again only 22 inch.

 

If the breeding of the Bedlington can be verified you will be inundated with pup request there has been loads of people on here looking for genuine first cross Belington Greyhounds year after year with no success as the Bedlington gene pool is so small today unfortunately.

So many litters advertised when you look deeper into them are not genuine first cross and I would question anything that was over 23 inch as being first cross.

Good luck with this and I look forward to seeing your pictures of the Bedlington.

the stud dog neil bacon was using at his puppy farm was the worst example of a working Bedlington you could wish to see ? and I very much doubt it had anything of georges stuff in it whatsoever it was as wide as a bulldog ?

that's the same everywhere I have been in running dogs a long time, and you often get slagged off for trying to pass on knowledge, and help people to possibly  avoid making mistakes you may have made, and are often dismissed as a has been, or what you bred or did in the past is put down  by younger lads, there can often be a lack of respect that would not exist in person, every one young and old has a story to tell and wise men listen and learn.
