hang & bang 114 Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Sire and dam look racey enough to catch, anyone looking for a fox dog these look the part and sound the part don't know the dogs personally or jigsaw but if I was after a pup for fox I'd certainly be getting in contact to find out more, these look the type of pup's you just don't see on gumtree free adverts ect look guneine to me. 2 Quote Link to post

jigsaw 11,863 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 The sires parents are as follows, the dam is 5/8 greyhound 3/8 wheaten, and the sire is a full greyhound dog that took fox consistently over a long period of time, The dam is a genuine 1st x, So there plenty of grit and lots of speed too, I think there's only 2 pups left now, 2 bitches... The right lads with these dogs will produce toppers I reckon 2 Quote Link to post

I had a Wheaton cross before who had no problem catching and a litter brother wouldnt catch a fox in a phone box...no matter what the cross is you get good and shite in everything.... not everyone is looking for an ‘all rounder’ .whats even is an all rounder lurcher there’s no dog thats 100% on everything. Your not gonna bring an out and out fox dog out on big land running daytime stuff just like you wouldnt bring a saluki bred dog night after night for fox???personally I want a foxing lurcher any other game doesn’t bother me. But not all Wheaton crosses are bad. In fact there far from it. Think that I seen someone else on here say that before too " what even is an all round lurcher " if you're in the game long enough you'll see the all round lurcher. Seen a first cross collie grayhound work everything day and night, and done it well too. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Quote Link to post

Wheatens were used as a strong dog and they were even used as fighting dogs throughout Ireland . I seen one now just googled them they resemble a cock a poo a bit dont they ? 1 Quote Link to post

If it wasn't taking 4s on the fens in January and reds singlehanded as well as the rest it simply isn't an all-rounder. Quote Link to post
