I’ve never had a beddy lurcher so I suppose I can’t really comment. But if I had the choice, I’d go for the patt. I suppose we are all different and a dog has only to please it’s owner. 2 Quote Link to post

I only need them to work rats and rabbits and they do the jobs perfectly. I would expect they see fox as fair game to? Flushing to gun obviously Quote Link to post

Would you be happier to use a bedlington over a patt say as a stud dog? All depends on what bitch I was putting it over ,lot more patts go to ground but I don't think the bedlington terrier was ever ment for working small earths but rock piles and badger sets and if the patterdale a better option to produce lurchers why wasn't it used that much in the past or in recent times ? I'd rather go with a bedlington stud that's bushing and ratting/rabbiting than a out and out earth dog to produce q lurcher but that my opinion, 2 Quote Link to post

C.green 3,050 Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 (edited) Ive been after a good whippet with a touch of bull or terrier for a while. I find if they aint got a touch of sommat else there abit fragile but alot of crosses aint fast enough in the open need hedges to kill rabbits on the lamp Edited June 30 by C.green 1 Quote Link to post
