I know this might sound obvious but have you tried a Google seach for your local area. Often a lot of breeders will turn up. There is also a weekly paper called Scot Adds, available to you I'm sure, which has tons of dog breeders listed usually. Post a pic if you get one. :)

They arn't a particularly 'popular breed'.May be obvious, but have you tried the Kennel club?They keep lists of registered breeders.I suspect you will have to go a fair distance to find one.

Get yourself a copy of The Countryman's Weekly and DO go for a Bed/Whip lurcher they are truly magical little streaks of lightning with all the good things that come with a cross breed. In my opinion the ultimate rabbiting dog :) and they can also be taught to retrieve with fantastic results, a rough shooting mans dream (can you tell I'm a fan :) )

The Countryman's Weekly incorporates The Working Terrier and there are loads of breeders advertising at the back

most breeders have show stock which is like a cross between a poodle and a lamb.try countrymans weekly ads,or ring it up ask for tracey allen and see if you can get phil haynes phone no he goes by poachers pocket lurchers and has been breeding bedlington/whippet/greyhound hybrids for years they get about 21-23" high mostly rough/broken coated and have a quick pace like a whippet.he lives nr leeds and their about £250.you see cheaper ones but they may not be a proper beddie x.my last hunting dog was beddie/jack russel/staffy.he was 21" high, coat like a deerhound and looked like a rough coated staffie in build he died after eating poisen in woods.

Bit too far north to be of any practical help but I hope you manage to fix something up. I know from experience that once the kids have seen something you are on a loser trying to put the genni back in the bottle. Good luck! :)

with the beddie/whippet x i think you only get probs with copper toxicous when its beddie/whippet x beddie/whippet not beddie x whippet.but i could be wrong,im no expert.

I recommend epupz (www.epupz.co.uk) - search by area, breed etc.

However, if it's not a 'popular' breed, you may have to wait months for a suitable dog. We had to wait nearly six months and still travelled 4 hours to get our Welsh Terrier last year.

Good luck!
