Bedlington Whippet rehome
This is Deuce, he’s a 6yr old Bedlington Terrier X Whippet, I would say he is a good 70% Terrier because he’s stocky and isn’t fussed about being out in the rain with no coat on. He is fully intact and would make a great ratter.
The owner is looking to rehome him because she’s expecting a baby and Deuce can be a bit snappy so she wouldn’t trust him around a small child.
I went to meet him today with my Mum’s dog Charley (same cross, 10yrs old) with a view to rehoming him at my parents but unfortunately it didn’t go well, Deuce snapped at Charl three times so there is no way they could live together. Poor Charl hated every minute of it and couldn’t wait to get back in the car!!
I would say Deuce needs an experienced owner with no children and no cats/rabbits, possibly another dog but it would either need to be female or bigger than Deuce, I’m sure the reason he’s a bit feisty is because he’s still got his b******s but never used them!
If anyone is genuinely interested please send me a PM and I can pass your details on, the owner is from Bury and is lovely.

When introducing dogs its best to do it on neutral ground otherwise the dogs who's territory is being invaded will always put on a show of ownership of various levels of severity.
The BedxJR is the cross of choice of anyone who uses ferrets on land where netting is difficult and unsafe to use a gun.
Best of luck but with winter coming I doubt you will have any trouble finding a new owner.

Re: Bedlington Whippet rehome
Beware of it being sold on after someone rehomes it, dogs are making big money now. If she’s worried about it snapping at a baby, she needs to put it down, simple as. Not put it on the merry go round.

I dissagree.
Snappers are not dogs that bite, the snap is just a warning, dogs that bite just do it.

Tell me so, what happens when the snap connects with a child’s face or and old persons leg??

Re: Bedlington Whippet rehome
Can we not turn this into a dog behavioural debate please.
We did meet on neutral ground, the dog basically just needs his nuts off or stud him.
One or two snaps (not bites) does not warrant putting the dog down, I am sure she’ll find a nice home for him.

But in fairness, they are not gassy and normal not too dog aggressive as long as you throw plenty of graft at them. I only had two that I couldn’t trust around people or dogs.

None of my lurchers were dog or people aggressive, and they all adored the kids...anything in a fur coat with long ears or a bushy tail things were different (also with anyone elses kitty that was daft enough to come on "their" garden as well)
Back on topic...bedlingtons and whippets crossed or not arent noted people snappers, only thing they do given the chance is hog the settee

It's only people who know little about dogs that see it as aggression

Ps: I wouldn’t be without a drop of saluki in a lurcher.

My dogs ran rings round them as well.
I know people who had good salukis ... they were the odd ones out
