sounder79 80 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 the true wheaten terrier was bred and used as all purpose farm dog . used for hearding of cattle sheep also a rodent killer. how can you compare this type of dog to a dog thats been bred for the sole purpose of fighting to the death. imo the bull terrier blood was added to the wheaten terrier at some time to give it more of what some people thought it lacked. atb dai your on about wheatens being herding dogs trying to put the breed down ,your talking shit,how many collies have you seen fight to the death?you know fcuk all about wheatens Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 it's probably come from the same books that say the bedlington is purely a rabbit dog. I used to buy books on dogs when I was a kid and every single one of them said a beddy is a rabbiting dog and a wheaten is a general farm dog used for guarding and catching rats.............wierd!

nitestalker 28 209 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 nitestalker, can you decipher that post for me? in short all dogs regardless of there make up have good and bad bull xs jus have a bad name because there is so many of them around and alot of shit 1s because they are bred from shit stock if the same breeders think they can make a quick buck from wheaten xs next they will f**k that cross up give a bad rep atb mate Quote Link to post
Bootsha 1,306 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 One of the problems we inherit when things or breeds are made illegal, it all goes underground, the poor quality sorts are not destroyed, the man biters, the hatefull minded fuckers, they are kept and often bred out of. If the bull breed hadn't been included on the dangerous dogs act, I very much doubt you'd have as many of the "incidents" that you sometimes get with them, the chavs wouldn't be walking about with them looking "'ard", simply because the dregs of the breed would have been culled out, and the bravado of being seen with one wouldn't be quite the same. Trouble is, if some " disreputable" has got a bitch, and his " disreputable" mate has got a dog, Shazam, 63 days later and theres a mess on the shed floor and more rubbish is brought into this world. You lower breed quality, increase "i want one" quality, and the £££'s go through the roof. Just my thoughts on it, for what its worth. Regards B 1 Quote Link to post

Cleanspade 3,322 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 i like the wheaten cross. i own one and he does me fine. and their is good breeding to be had. although it must be a minefield for someone looking to purchase a well bred cross Quote Link to post
dai dogs 1,404 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 1937 18 dogs 19 bitches formed the irish wheaten terrier club. all pure wheaten terriers can be traced to these 37 dogs, few pics of the OLD TYPE wheaten terrier before it was heavily diluted with bull blood. 1 Quote Link to post
