Cheers! You cant beat a good old fashioned beddy/whippet or beddy/whippetxgreyhound seen them work was very impressed with them that is what i would go for one if i wanted another lurcher...in my opinion a good old fashioned beddy has got one of the best noses in the terrier breeds..ive seen beddys work and they are impressive a few friends of mine use them alot one of the blokes uses them with his hounds hes put hound into them hes put that hound into them to make them sing well while huntin so he knows where they are. Another bloke who i know he use them for huntin mink down the rivers i have seen one of his beddys jump in the river and caught a coot underneath the water while the coot was diving. I am the same as you i have got a bull x but i have got terriers but hes works up like my terriers cause i take him out with them together alot but he still works well on the lamp Quote Link to post
Guest mush Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 One thing you will have to watch if you have terrier in your lurcher is if it gets fired up you may end up with a dead bird. Quote Link to post

Guest buster Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 This is a bloke who i know who breeds beddys the dog on the right hand side the darker one is a beddy/whippet/greyhound and has just killed this fox singlehanded this is the one what takes hares and rabbit as well as been on deer Quote Link to post
collie/grey 238 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Beddy/whippet x greyhounds are great all rounders. My one and his littermates do the business with ease. The only quarry my dog hasn't got near yet is hare and that's only because he hasn't come across one. He is one hell of a fast dog though. Quote Link to post
