If i remember correctly he kept what looked like deerhound types,i think he also kept irish terrierxs and he started breeding the wheatonxs then aswell.

 

You are correct Fat Man with the Irish terrier x's, he did breed these and a few ended up our way. These were very descent all rounders, i know lads that kept them for hares and they also accounted for a lot of foxes. Very smart fly animals, seen these dogs work and they had nothing to learn

I remember the first time i was ever in phils yard was to pick up 2 fell pups.The dam was with the pups and when i asked about the sire he pointed to a black dog that was running around with about 50.60 more black terriers all loose,i had to laugh and so did he,pups actually were very good in the end.He had some amount of lurchers there that time aswell,and also the wheaton dog rambo.He chatted about dogs for about 2hours,gave us tea and sandwiches and sent us up the road happy men after listening to some of his stories.A true old school hunter.

 

i have only ever seen pictures and been told stories of the Rambo dog, but by all accounts he looked and sounded a good one!

Back then its was the deer-hound Irish terrier cross every one liked but now days people are looking a fast and at them dog that can stay on as well like the ones he has.
