can't really argue about what's been said about beddywhippets. I have had quite a few and genuine half cross, wether it be first cross or line bred have all lacked gears. it wouldn't be your choice for lamping. I only ferret and mooch, and they suit me fine. the biggest plus I have always found is a great nose this they have in abundance.

The first Beddy show class was in 1870, and they were dying them to fit ‘breed standard’ in them days so quite likely a lot of the photos you see even quite old ones were non workers

Cos you’re not telling me those ones abound would stick to ground on a badger. And the first dog labelled a bedjngton terrier was worked on badger and otter. Them ones above wouldn’t know what to do with a hole

I always thought they was ratters mate bunny’s otters badger just an all round hunting dog and used for  racing as well like a whippet  don’t think they was ever an earth dog like a pat is mate 

and dog will have worked back then mate it’s was the norm showed as well but they will a been workers

I don’t quite know how they were meant to be worked on otters and badger if they couldn’t get to ground ? Be a bit of a difficult one otherwise. And as far as I was aware most terriers were bred to go to ground. I think a lot of books probably talk about rabbiting abs stuff because realistically they don’t like saying they dug badgers with them historically. Same as if you read the history of the sausage dog not many folk mention digging pigs
