Any potential litters . Good lad looking for a pup in a few months

Probably be a bit small an slow for fleeing rabbits the price beddy whippets are going for you’d be better off with a straight whippet there hard to beat as rabbit an rat catchers

3/4 bred being too small and slow?  Not too sure about that.

But, I agree, a pure whippet would 'probably' be a better choice, depending on the land etc.

I’d give a 3/4 terrier a go if one popped up

it's 3/4 Bedlington so would agree with poxon, should be a good cover dog and mooching marking dog.

It's for around cover ( brambles etc)

I had a 1st cross beddie whippet that bushed as good as any bushing dog. She got anywhere. Atb Adam

Yep, I read it too quickly and mentally assumed three quarter whippet.

seen a few three quarter whippet and they certainly wasn't too small or slow

I'd go for the Cross the other way around, never see the sense in breeding the sighthound out of a dog your losing speed

3/4beddy terrier 1/4 whippet would be small and slow I wasn’t trying to be smart or out just giving a honest opinion nothing nasty meant by it 

[fred90 3,328]

bred this way was known as a reverse three quarter cross.

Yeah, like I said in an earlier post, I misread it.

A friend of mine had one. He was a genuine working dog man but had the time and kennel space to follow fashion. A very nice dog but not something that would suit if you only had the one and wanted to catch rabbits. Used to attract a lot of attention at terrier/lurcher shows and people would be queuing up to exchange phone numbers for use as stud. Did everything that could be expected of it as a terrier too big to go to ground and a lurcher too slow to catch a rabbit.
