Very game,very intelligent,but you need to put time into them as if not properly trained can be a disaster with stock and other dogs,in my experience they lots of potential but they need steered in the right direction.

Yep, agree with you Pip, time with 'em seems to be the thing.......I have never owned one but seen a few genuine first X's out, all dogs were 'sharp' temperament wise and could really 'turn it on'. Bitches were a different kettle of fish.....could be the same as the dogs in the field, game as feck! ....but very...(am loath to use the word but...) 'timid' (or use 'quiet'?) and needed good handlers and constant re-assurance to get the best out of them (not all did!).....in the right hands these girls could do very well for the opportunist owner who needs his dog to get 'stuck in', very biddable (for a lurcher with terrier blood) in general but with the same do-or- die nature when called for,

Midnight Walker sounds like a good cross,but temperament wise as regards to fitting in with other members of a dog team,the terrier nature may be dominant and in a lurcher sense is not ideal,but

the cross seems very useful,keep us updated on your lurcher's progress,thanks,

Higgins.

it would be nice to see a picture of yours mate... i'm on the look out for a wheaton x pup at moment ... i think a 1/4 wheaton would be a good cross! alot of ones seem to say the half cross are very fiesty with other dogs etc

i've just recently got a first cross wheaton/greyhound and its the first one i've seen work...i cant speek for others but the one i own is a very capable dog... so much so i'm thinking of getting a couple more wheaton crosses for next season

Handsome looking beast mate.Looks more wheaton than greyhound,or is it just the pic's ? Very tidy all the same.

they definately look like really nice dogs... there was a litter in the buy and sell last week but he was sellin the mother and everything... kinda put me off a bit, i think i'll wait for the right thing... 3/8 5/8 are a nice cross as well, somebody on here bred a litter and the pics were up shortly after xmas.. i dont remember who it was but i'll have a scan and see what i can find
