Truther 1,579 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Seen a Wheaton x pull a fox out of an earth liike a cork out of a bottle.screwed it in seconds..then half killed a hound .then proceed to try rip the head of a terrier..was a full blown nasty c**t. A lad came to a club meet with a Wheaton x Pitt years ago when anything went..............lovely animal, good coat, and athletic, really steady in a room full of people giving it some attention, i talked to him later on when he'd had a few, and he told me it would just as soon kill a dog as anything else, he had it given by the original owner after it killed some of his terriers, and caused a rift with his mates after killing their terriers, should have done the right thing, but they passed it, i don't know what he did with it, probably passed it on again?

Blackdog92 2,047 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Having never owned or seen a wheaton work what do they bring to the table in a pack? Are they vocal? Good nose? Im very curious as to what they excell at. Quote Link to post

Im very curious as to what they excell at. The only thing they bring to the table that other more common bushing breed might lack is grit and gameness, two things I don't really see the need for in a bushing pack? Everyone trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to bushing dogs recently it seems. 8 Quote Link to post

IMO what a wheaten would bring to the table in a pack is plenty of grief,a proper wheaten that is. 4 Quote Link to post

Dig-deep-draw-charlie 2,713 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 A boy up by me has 1 (not sure if he still does, ain't seen him in a while) it's a pet, his wife has a tea cup yorkie, he got the Wheaton as a pup, yorkie was about 3, took it to dog lessons, tried to socialise it, always had it out when it was a pup around dogs and humans, was fine with dogs, had it if the lead on a walkway and it nailed a staff, couple of days later it nailed the yorkie, and it's tried to nail everything since! Not saying they can't be part of a pack, just be really careful they are very very very unpredictable, thing is they look like big soft fcukers, far from it! Heard of a story about 2 guys many many years ago, a fella had a pit (matched) and another fella had a Wheaton (worker) and they decided to see what the outcome would be,. The Wheaton was the only dog brought back. Quote Link to post
