wheaton x grey

[runforyourlife 361]

Hi all, been offered one of these dogs(lurchers) I dont know if you would call them a lurcher. I would imagine they are good for fox, but a little slow.

 

Can anybody tell me anything about them, and whether a friend should bother with them, or should he hold out till the right dog comes along. He wants an all rounder, and i shouldnt imagine these would not be much good for coursing?

a mate used to have, got stole though.the dog wasnt quick enough for me, although he would catch lamp and day foxes and same with rabbits.he were abit behind hares.one thing i could give the dog was he were very game.backed off nothing.id have a 3/4 out of him in a flash, just got stole. maybe the 3/4 bred would be more of an allrounder.should be able to take foxes, if bred right, i my opinion the best wheaten dogs are in ireland, if i were to get one id get one imported or one off irish wheatens.like my mates second generation half bred.good luck

there not a hare dog mate, but a very good fox dog. a friend of mine has one and he is the gamest dog i have ever seen to a fox.

take the dog you wont be dissapointed

What are the bad points on wheaton crosses? whats there trainability like and also is there plenty of stamina do they open up behind prey i can imagine they have nice strong feet and body structure

[fenman1# 724]

there a good dog if brought on right a good friend of mine in irland bred a litter of first crosses and kept a dog and a bitch there both killing foxes single handed in the day and on the lamp and there handy on rabbits too, but you get good and bad in everydog but the ones iv seen where good. atb

stamina was good on my mates.......and trainable......i would get it if i was you....

if it's 3/4 bred then i would, but half x can be a bit slow and short in the leg.

 

cheers, jay.
