Wheaton

[2504 92]

Is there anyone using a wheaton for bushing, the reason I'm asking is that I've started taking mine out and she's doing good, I know people are going to say there are better breeds suited to the task and that the wheaton is for another role I'm just interested if there anyone using one thanks in advance tony

Perfect if your chosen quarry is other dogs

 

Seriously a Wheaton in a hyped up state flushing quarry to other dogs is an accident waiting to happen. They can seem fine for ages and then suddenly flip and you don't want your prized running dog in their way when it happens

I've not had her from a pup but I've had her about 9 months I've seen no dog aggression so far

The botch isn't called nancy pal, but she came from Scotland the lad brought her over from Ireland

Is this a well bred Wheaton 2504... Or is it from say a little bit less of a working background.....that's not a diss at you by the way I'm just saying as there's been Wheatons sold on which aren't realy the full package so to speak as 99 % of the time a well bred Wheaton running around with other dogs in a hyper state will end in tears....

Not being funny pal but I reckon that's what every Wheaton owner has said at some point, usually just before their dog sinks it's teeth into the nearest dog

 

If you're happy with how it works then crack on, just be really aware of the risks involved

The bitch is a working wheaton,

Well I'd keep a close eye on it and only work it with your other own dog for a while that way if it does sink in to another dog its your own and will avoid some dog walker sticking a story up in the paper.....I think there was a lad in Ireland who worked his Wheaton with terrier and also for bushing with lurchers so it can be done....atb and good luck

My mate said his wheaton bitch was fine with other dogs, ripped a hole out its kennel mates shoulder later that day, no warning no aggro stood next to each other one second full on attack the next.
