Anyone ever see a wheaten dog named rocklane shorty and a bitch annagh hill girl?,, they were around in the ,s...

[THE GENERAL 1,982]

I'd say Rocklane was possibly owned by Sandy Mc intyre. As for the Hacketstown prefix there was a few dogs named with it, whether or not it was all by the same man is another story. There's a few men on here would be able to answer that question better than myself. Hacketstown Jack was owned by J.E. Smyth.

I would agree I was lucky enough to have been in his yard too on a few occasions and seen some of his dogs and they were very impressive terriers in every way.

 

I think he has a knowledge of the breed and had a line of wheatens that not too many had.

 

Is there any of his stuff around now?

Carlovian, I take it that's the same B Byrne that is down as a judge on one of the certs I have from the mid 60s? There's also an Ed Byrne from Dublin mentioned on another one as well. Edited July 22, 2017 by THE GENERAL

Nice 1

[boland 59]

looking at photos of working wheatens, the head shape looks the same as a glen of imaals ?. Are the wheatens a larger version of the glens ?.

I would'nt even mention the 2 of them in the same sentence,the Wheaten is a far far superior working terrier and has been proven so right down through the years.

I've only ever seen one Glen work personally I thought it was a tube has anyone ever seen one work and what was it like??
