dogmandont 9,805 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 In fairness dc some wheatens are just nasty bastrads that aren't to be trusted with man are beast. Bit like people some become nasty cnuts even with the best of upbringings. 3 Quote Link to post

Atb dc In other words it takes a dogman to own one. It would be a sad day if the wheaten ever ended up in the hands of the messers and posers , so lets just hope it stays a specialist breed. 6 Quote Link to post

Lusitano 294 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 i don't see many in the wrong hands... intact very few men are breeding them how they should be. Quote Link to post

That's the thing, they have never been a common breed but have always been one of the gamest, which proves that a breed doesn't need big numbers to survive as workers, it just needs good men behind it. 2 Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I was talking to a chap yesterday, and he goes to Ireland a lot, the lads over there only rate the Wheaton in a lurcher he says, how do the lads on this forum rate the cross? Interested to find out Ive never owned a Wheaton cross until recently,then i did not own it long.My lad still as his and at just under 6 months of age i can state with a little conviction i should have owned one a few years earlier.Its never going to work on long gallops,its never going to do half of what ive grown accustomed to with my type of lurcher and thats a fact,yet feck me the bitch as balls,it has brains and it as a nose and a fecking attitude,if its attitude,nose and brains can be utilised her balls will be an advantage.Ive never witnessed a pup so young be so adventurous and commited.

Teckers 661 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I think their a cracking cross tbh, great coat, bags of drive, hearts of lions and a good nose, which ticks the boxes in a lurcher for me, I'f all goes well I'm useing a Wheaton/grey on this bitch when she breaks down next 7 Quote Link to post
hjckcff 1,738 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Is there much difference between the Wheaten, and the Irish terriertotally different shapes in head/body wise and temperments-folks bang on about wheatens being dog aggressive... Everyone I've been around has been good as gold, only interested in the job at hand. If a dogs nasty with others then that's down to a bad owner imo. Atb dc i would have to disagree with you. some dogs are just downright twats. and no amount of socialising will change them . first image is Darcey. quarter wheaten. second is ozzy. first cross. 12 Quote Link to post
