That’s your take on it I know people who go out every weekend and enjoy there bedlington hybrids and if people sell them so what. If people are honest what there dogs are doing I’m sure you wont get mud thrown back in your face be happy with what you got and enjoy still loads of good friends down South Wales still breed good uns enjoy Edited November 16, 2020 by coco 3 Quote Link to post

fenman1# 724 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I had a dog off big land boy scratch race champion to pedigree whippet. He came 47lb killed rabbit, hare and fox was a handy dog to pull out of hole too. Would have him back in a heartbeat 1 Quote Link to post
