working wheaten lines

[guyliath 15]

Hello,

Could any one, give me advice on good working lines for wheatens. I understand that i am gonna have to make the trip to ireland for a good'un. Any advice would be really helpful. When i have searched the net all I get is lots about show dogs, not workers.

 

All the best,

If it's a dog for the traditional work that wheatens have been employed at in Ireland I would avoid anything that looks like this show bred dog.....

 

 

Here's a proper working type at a country show that I judged about 20 odd years ago....

 

 

And this was my winner at the same show....

 

 

This was my pals big wheaten dog that produced some outstanding foxing lurchers, sadly died a month ago...clipped for the summer....

 

 

Another shot of the type to avoid....Show breds....

Brilliant pics, to the last, so i need to make a trip to the republic, no worries, any particular lines i should be looking for. Or counties with a good head of workers? What i am digging at is where to start? Any Irish lads on here with up coming litters?

 

Thanks for all the replies &

All the best,

The pics of working types that I posted were all in Northern Ireland but I'm sure there are still some enthusiasts working away quietly in the Republic too.

Some good lines in the North of Ireland, Didddycye being 1

[bolio 49]

Well the Diddycye prefix belongs somewhat south of the border but there was that breeding in one of the dogs I posted.

I have mulben lines most of mine are allready sold What type of wheatons are you after ? they come in all shapes and sizes

[bolio 49]

The Mulben dogs are showbred wheatens, as opposed to the field tested types guys.

You're right of course Bolio, I was thinking of T.B's stuff which you know has a lot of the Diddycye blood behind them

Hi guy's,

A medium sized one would be good for my needs, not one of the big'uns. I am a bit confused, the diddycye line, is this a working line? I am only interested in working dogs really so the mulben would not really be my cup of tea. Thanks for the replies.

 

Best regards,
