pidge 2 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi I own a Proper Working Beddie (Flat back type) and she does her stuff to the utmost and im interested in getting a Lurcher (Beddie x whippet) Do I put her to a whippet or get a pup in. Will the pups be too stodgy as shes not the roach backed type.in fact i think theres a touch of Lakie in there as if you read the terrier forum shes the same type as "Swansea Jack Breeds". I got her from Nicky from Halifax Has anyone tryed this Beddie x Whippet way or would you leave it to the roach back type.? Im Looking to breed her as I want a pup is anyone out there interested in the to be pups to be Im Looking for a PROPER WORKING WHIPPET Id obviously want first pick but then id let the rest go for peanuts to good working homes Attached thumbnail(s) Quote Link to post
david2363 42 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Looks like more than a touch of Lakey Pidge, but as long as the dog does a job for you. I had a Lakey/Beddy 1st cross years back and he sired some very handy lurchers. Quote Link to post
shepp 2,285 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 How tall is she Pidge? Quote Link to post
pidge 2 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) How tall is she Pidge? 13 inch to the shoulders to be honest she does do the stuff and the kids love her so i suppose thats that. trouble is it goats me when im out and people ask me what she is and i just say beddie x I Know theres more beddie than anything else but when someone approaches you with 2 bedlingtons its hard to explain "weve all got the same dog" To br fair the pic dosent do her justice as she needs a trim Edited July 21, 2008 by pidge Quote Link to post
doga 50 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 the bitch does have alot to do with determining the size produced its natures way so they may come a little small,good look with what ever you decide. Quote Link to post
the_stig 6,614 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 will they make the height you reqiure ? - that would be my concern my mate got a beddie x whippit she made 19inch Quote Link to post
shepp 2,285 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 There's one like that in John Glovers book, page 90. A lot of people do say 19" is about as small you would want to go for a small lurcher. I would look for a litter coming up of beddy whippets and maybe use your bitch later on to produce some straight beddys. Good luck mate. Quote Link to post
