ferreterni 29 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Was just wondering what peoples thoughts are on the bedlington whippet crosses. I know they are great rabbit dogs but what mixes bring what to the table? 1st cross or 3/4 or reverse 3/4? Is the reverse still quick enough, is the 1st cross harder mouthed etc. What experiences have people had, and maybe pictures of different mixes if you have them? Quote Link to post

ferreterni 29 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Meant to say too, about coat types and bulkiness etc trainability. Is the first cross quick enough, and what sort of sizes would it reach. Like the look of some first crosses I have seen. Prefer a rough or broken coated dog too. Quote Link to post

mark the moocher 0 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 this is my first cross she is very intelligent and trainable. just a bit slower over distance than my other whippets but she can turn on a penny and get there as quick. Has an outstanding nose and can rat as good if not better than any other terrier. dont mind getting bit and game as owt, but true to being a female she can be as moody as F&$k! Quote Link to post
