Wheaton Terriers

[Eireman96 9]

Hi i was just wondering what the pros and cons are with owning a wheaton terrier as i only have lurchers and i want to get a leggy type terrier for bushing, mooching etc. I have a few different breeds in mind but would like to get familiar with their pros and cons before i makw the final decision. Thanks for reading, any feedback appreciated.

wheaton terrier r a super dog but very head strong

Ya ive never seen one before and never heard of anyone working them around here or anywhere close, only ever heard one half cross lurcher, and was a mighty drawing dog.

dogs for jobs mate, wheatons won't do it as well as a purpose bred bushing type.

plus they are headstrong and very fiery, could pose problems with stock and when working with other dogs

they have been used for earth work for years very game dog

wheatan not suitable as a bushing dog. they will hunt but can lead to trouble in long term. get yourself a terrier x or spanial x for bushing, all the best sionnach.

Thanks for help lads, if anyone could recommend a terrier type breed that will mingle and work well with other dogs, i was also thinking of a plummer but they are hard to get here, would they be strong enough? As i dont plan on using it for rats and most definatly dont want something that can go to ground.

bud get a terrier x springer then you wont have to worry about it dropping to ground

I have nothing against spaniel x's, but I would prefer to stick to a full terrier type breed.

Cant think of many other terriers for bushing pal ,wheatens are a whole lot of terrier

get a beddy or border from parents used for bushing not digging

[Eireman96 9]

What about an border, airdale, kerry blue? Is there any working lines of these terriers out there?
