You would struggle to find a human being in Bedlington working now.

Been out with 2 members off here....the one lads bitch was 8/9 yr old and did 7/8 hrs to ground,under some old oaks/sycamore around an old dried up flight pond...ground was like bell iron,some of the worst ground I've dug (end of August time)and it was a 'midnight manoeuvre' job with the keeper..I've witnessed quite a few graft ,they don't look anything like them dogs above,still some lads keeping them right

I think it’s a good thing they added the fell tbh

Heard of a few bedington keepers that have dogs that could be dug to.Funnily enough they were all very private and only ever went digging on their own as had nothing to prove to other digging lads

My bitch was a good drawing bitch in them nine inch drainage pipes.

Rambo put me off them for good haha haha

There’s still a few working Bedlington’s;

But I’d guess they are few and far between

Cheers.

Back in the day people cared more for performance than pedigree as soon as you start fussing about appearance something else has to go which is were we are

[chartpolski 29,168]

I remember meeting an old guy many years ago and he told me they used to bring their Lakies over from Cumberland to Northumberland to cross them with Beddy’s to “put a bit more fire in them “ !

How times have changed .

Cheers.

Well over 30 years ago living on hippy sites i had a sandy coloured beddy bitch, one time she and another dog i had fecked off for a walk and got picked up by the dog warden type thing. It took me a week to gget them back as i had to prove they were mine etc etc and living on a shit hole p***y transit site outside Swindon wasn't a great address,anyway the RSPCA brought them back and he opened the van door and out jumped my Alsatian x thing and then one of those clipped up things jumped out, the folks around me fell about laughing and i went fecking mental saying what you done to me dog, you utter bellend twat,that sort of thing like you would.. Told them to feck off and gave them half the bill money and lived for fecking weeks with folks taking the piss every sodding day..
