Hi, Im new to the forum and hoping for some advice about the Beddy/whippet cross breed. I have my name down for a pup in the spring (only a twinkle in the eye at the moment!). Shes a lovely little dog who lives just round the corner and she is being mated with another b/w cross with results we hope.

I have had the priviledge of looking after a lurcher before and she was a gorgeous girl but very strong and we decided to look for something smaller that I could actually hold onto when a cat or squirrel emerged from the undergrowth! Sadly, our days as holiday hotel for Tleaf were numbered as she had to be put down recently and we do miss her visits.

Can anyone advise me about b/w cross, the mother seems very placid, can be walked off the lead she is so obedient etc, but any more tips would be appreciated. Im wondering if they are a bit fiesty, I keep seeing comments suggesting this and even one saying dont get one.

I look forward to hearing from anyone in the know on this

Hi LIL, cant advise on this I am afraid - but welcome to the forum!
