Wheaton Greyhounds

Whos a fan of this type of cross. They look like they can run but do they have the heart for it. I know they are said to be dog aggressive but is this also true or just the odd one?

depends on how much socialising they get, King of dog aggression is the pit bull, and they do fine working as teams

No doubt about there heart if there breed from right stuff.

I've fancied one of these for a while maybe 3/8 Wheaton 5/8 greyhound but do they get the height as I prefer 26" and above

[Wild-Bill 500]

Had a few of them over the years decent alrounders and definently have the heart. But not in the same league as a bull cross imo. Good with the jacket tho and haven't decent feet and wind. They make handy Vermin dogs but as said above some do definently lack height, just for one from the right stuff and shouldn't go wrong.

Charlie chaser on hear has one, it's seen some graft.

As for heart you couldn't question it it's as game as you can get

I think it can all be down to socialising. Although the some dogs are just bad naturally I haven't seen one that's been a problem apart from a 3/4 bred I had he was moody f****r in the kennel fine anywhere else....

i like the wheaten blood. as long as its from working wheatens it will have plenty in the tank . lost my first cross not long ago and now rearing a 1/4 bred. my last dog was good with my terriers but would rise to the occasion if challanged great all round vermin dogs.

Hi had a halfx bitch from pup, socialised practically every day, after 2 year old the bitch hated any and every dog, even the ones she grew up and worked with, it was not through lack of work or socialising either. Was it because of the work she was doing? Possibly. After killing one of the Mrs pet dog was an end to her, A good mate of mine has a bitch halfx, I wouldn't like to ask how much the bitch cost him in vet bills to other dogs. But she doesn't get the work. I got a halfx wheaten dog now retired that is the most level headed dog I know, would never start but would definitely be the one to finish. I got a firstx wheaten dog 2 year old that is not to great with people, fine with me and the kids but hates strangers, I got a halfx wheaten dog pup 5 months old, confident strong dog, very forward. Just like the old dog when he was a pup. Funny things these wheatens. They ain't everyone's cup of tea. And I guess every dog is different. Patience and a strong bond is a must, you have to spend time with them. I like the halfx personally because I like to do all sorts, day/night what ever when ever and they never seem to injured to often. Compare them to a Bullx, work wise they are different. But nothing a Bullx can do that a wheatenx can't IMO. ATB

Always found wheaten crosses better at hunting cover......in general.....just a little cuter.....
