I'd be surprised if Online Shopping was the best way to get a working wheaten.

 

If you've never seen one work or know nothing about the breed or lines . Why do you think you want one?

Hey Guys,

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am new to working terriers, please I have never made any secret of that. All the questions i posted on here are to learn more about the breed. Why do I want one? you ask, well I like the look of them, isn't that the first thing that compells us all to a dog, the look? Maybe not, maybe just me. I have searched for hours for info on the computer about proper working wheatens, maybe I am not searching long enough ( all I can find is show and pet dogs info). Surely researching and asking like I have done is better than just rocking over to ireland with several hundred euro in my pocket and buying up dogs, later to find they are no good to me, and more importantly I am no good for the dogs. Everyone I ask about what working wheatens were bred for / used for never seems to want to answer (or maybe they don't know). The only info on the web about there job is generic terrier stuff "vermin control".

I am truly sorry if I have offended anyone on here, I don't have a family who keep working terriers, so looking around the internet / books and asking you guys is the only way I can learn.

 

Cheers for all the replies, I will keep looking into it.

 

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.

one or two down my way but keep themselves to themselves

If ypo know nothing about them or what they are for DONT GET ONE as somebody already said they are not for the faint hearted.What will you do if he starts to kill a dog or starts pulling out of livestock.Wheatens are best left to people with good experience of game dogs or else it ends in disaster.

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

 

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
