I'm not condemning the breed for the sins of a few, but some of the older members may remember an incident at a trial many years ago when Flasher Dunphy, R.I.P., walked over to a van beside which a wheaten dog was teathered, and leaning across to slap his hand on the roof of the van, found the dog latched onto his arm pit. Most of these dogs have been kept in pens or on chains and have not been socialised to the extent that they can be trusted among civilised folk. Kept in the home I'm sure would be a different matter however.

to give you a straight answer, there is still quite a few wheatens in the south that are performing well,although you will probably find it hard to get in touch with any wheaten men,unless you have a very good contact that could make a introduction, even then they still might not be interested in new faces,the men from northern ireland would come down and try to buy ,and even they at times found it hard to do so,and they were well respected dogmen,

Yes I remember when, in order to run dogs at the trials, each entrant was required to be a member of a club that was affiliated to the Working Terrier Federation of Ireland. Despite the rampant prejudice shown against some Northern clubs, we managed, by dint of a rather classy certificate designed by myself I might add, to get ourselves voted into the Fed and were able to run our dogs. Luckily Peter Gorman, like many of the ordinary working terrier men from the south, wasn't afflicted with the same bigotry and allowed us to buy pups and adults off him. I gave a pure wheaten of Peters breeding to my late friend, Tony Dunphy from Waterford, in the early 's and some of the offspring has come North in later years to consolidate a successful line up here again.

There's more that unites us than what divides us in this dog game.
