What's a rambler? (house)
-
Don't know about over the pond, but there are several very good lines over in the States used on bears, mt. lion, bobcat, coon, badger, coyote, fox, pheasant, ducks, just about anything. I use mine for fur and for fun take her bird hunting, but I don't work on obedience so she isn't the best bird dog, but will flush pheasants. Pre-haircut Post-haircut

Here's one:

When you want to see them fly,....GET A JULY baby!!!! Nice dog. How's he bred like?

Good work there. You got some rocky soil, glad it was only a 2 footer!! I hate our soil. Rock, clay, rock, rock, lots of rock and some clay. Only a few areas with good easy digging.

Good looking dogs all around there.

Not a worry here for the most part. I had a guy come from Alaska 2 years back and his dogs had never been on coon before and got a little smashed. It's not even a worry here. I do all the doctoring myself, unless shock or severly injured. We hunted until 3 hours before the flight and he never got hassled. Kye, depending on where you live, why not just drive? It takes a lot longer but if you ride with a couple people, you may actually save money. For me, it's not the money, it's the time, and I have none of it right now....

[quote I would also like to invite anyone to come out here to Oregon with your dogs and hunt all the badger you can stand... Christian J. I am probably going to take you up on that next year Christian. I got so much going on this year it won't happen. Keep Duane happy though so we got a place to hit up. I got a couple that could stand a REAL test around here. Nate

Neil, my only real answer is, I don't know why a wheaton is the dog to go for. I figured a dog with lineage going back like they do, if bred right, by the right people, it would do better than a dog not bred for hunting, like the pit. I can get all the pits I want, and no doubt a wheaton could grab a little terrier, but I have no experience with either. Shoot, for that matter of fact, if my big little dog, the 22lber, wasn't retired do to age and need as a quality stud dog, I'd just use him exclusively and cross him to a huge female jagd to get a 25-30lber. Its all a guess right now.

I do mine once in early June and once in late August just to keep them cool. But it may have to grow back harsh because we get to -45F in the winter, and THAT, makes my hair course!! Thanks for the kind words. I think these are my ugly dogs, you should see the crackers!
-
I was going to try them pure and crossed to a lake/patt dog I have that is 22lbs solid muscle and and very good natural drawer on jumbo coons. I also have some jagds in mind that would likely produce a good working cross for drawing yotes. I plan on seeing if they are just right the way they are or if they need a little downsizing. Still at square one on getting a good bred wheaton over here. Plenty of show dogs to pick from, but I'd rather cross a pitbull with a min-pin or puggle than use them. Most are scared of their own shadows. Spooky as hell around other dogs too. But finding work for th

I have never stripped a coat, but clipping them doesn't make the coat soft, at least on mine. I did it twice last year on Briar and Sampson, grew back just as harsh in 2-3 months. Lou, this is her first go round with it, but I suspect the same. No hesistation to shave them again, best thing I've ever done for the dogs, besides hunt the hair off them.... AD Briar before AD Briar after Lou before Lou after Sampson before Lou on left, Sampson on right after

Oh no fellas, that wasn't me, a guy that has 70,000 acres to run out west got them last year. Most spotted above ground, then his curs/ stags draw them when he rolls up on them. He is wanting a dog or two to do this specifically and to use on yotes. I've been talking about denning coyotes for 2-3 years now, just haven't got the right dogs yet. My patts would be on a suicide mission, they would back down, even the rough mixers will take to much stick to survive. He don't dig much at all. I plan on digging a bunch when I get dogs to pull a 30lb angry yote from the ground.....

Still working on it boys. Coyotes still need to be tamed here and I know a guy who got 135 badger (very legal here) and wants to carry it on with me.

Good looking pup there. I had a little red patterdale (some lakeland back a bit) that looked very similar. -
Dogs and poisoning don't tend to mix well. what if a dog marks a hole that's been poisoned already. Gonna need more dogs. Why not use beagles and shotguns. Not like they are going to hit any houses or anything.
-
Nice account. Good to get the pups going. How old are the pups?
-
Snizle06, Do you know who got the dog over here? Not many even know about the wheatons over here, except for the show folks and puppy mills. Can't rightly see why anybody would want one from working stock if not for working ability. Seems like a waste if you don't use it for working something.....

Ratkilla, Most definately, hopefully a bred female or pair, but only a true working bred dog. Don't want any show shite. I plan on using them on coyotes and the big boy. We can work both year round and I have just as many ranchers who have coon problems as coyotes and badger, still very legal to hunt here. Nate

Old post I know, but very nice looking wheaton pics G.mac. Good build about him. Looks like he can do the damn job. Nate
-
G.mac, By the looks of your pic, do you have or carry Wheatons also? Good looking pics guys.
-
Nice looking dog. The right size for fox too. I'd say any dog with working marks is definately coming along.

I have to agree with dogman on this one. Haven't seen the video, and while it may ring true there are implications and effects that videos like this may have brought, hunting is and will always be a part of who I am and don't give a damn what others think about me. If I made a video and somebody thought my dogs where crap, fine, don't ask for one. Most videos are for entertainment purposes. From the sounds of it, lot of folks got entertained. I own lots of hunting videos and I might make comments to buddys watching it with me like those guys should have done this or that, but matters is the ho

Scott, Nice pic man! I have probably only caught a 1000 coons in my career doing this stuff and no one of my dogs has ever lived to see more that 500. Good work!!
