I've had and ran dogs with Wheaton blood in the mix and I found them to be decent dogs a mate of mines got a good Wheaton x dog at the moment some people favour them over a bull type I think that's because of the coat but it's horses for courses ?

I have wheatens and have had first and second crosses.Short back no speed rarely a nose, this isn't Australia or eastern Europe we don't have the game!I I know theres good ones for terrier work but all round pot filling lurchers I am yet to see a great one!

English bull was put into some strains of Wheatens in the south in the past they created very game and stupid animals I have some of these.However I also have a very old strain that in recent years had a little American pit entered into the line, from this I have one bitch she would talk to you.I have ferreted with her shot pheasant and retrieved rabbits she has of course performed as wheaten should while dug also.She has a great nose and can be hunted with other dogs while beating cover I bred her to other Wheatens but could never get anything close.If she had been a dog she was ideal for lurcher breeding, but the others brought very little.I have heard about smart wheatens but apart from this one I have not seen them.A lurcher must have brains speed and heart no doubt they bring heart.I have a 3/4 in my kennel at the moment bottomless heart ,but very short on brains and speed.No disrespect to the ancient breed but if you keep breeding for gameness alone that's all you get.
