My parents are looking for breeders/puppies of Lurchers specifically first cross bred Whippet x Bedlington Terrier.  They live in West Sussex and would be like to make contact a breeder(s) in the Sussex, Essex, West Hampshire vacinity.

Try looking in the Countrymans Weekly it is a newspaper that comes out every Friday and very often has lurcher pups for sale in the classifieds, including the cross you are looking for :-)

there is a lady in cornwal i believe that sometimes has litters of these two breeds, i do believe they are a working kennel which may prefer a working home to a pet home tho. they are sometimes advertised in the western morning news

why not go for a whippet or a bedlington???

bedlington whippets are excellent working dogs. If you pm me I can put you in touch with someone in sussex who can help you.

If this is a working dog, if you understand the needs of a working lurcher, look in countrymans weekly, look in lurcher rescues etc, pm Sam.

If you want an 'Alfred the Lurcher off Heartbeat' then dont get a beddy x whippet.

They look cute, they can BE cute, but they can be DAMN difficult dogs -- sadly somehow, somewhere, lurchers have become this mythical easy dog. They are not.  A true lurcher is bred for work (and call me picky but if neither parent is not able to work then the resultant offspring is not a lurcher, its a crossbreed).. and as such they in their variuos guises will contain working blood, be it herding or terrier as well as the sighthound influence.

Ill always have a lurcher now, but had my beddy x been my first dog, well he would be in rescue and id have probably commited suicide by now!!!!
