Wheaten X Staff

[Astanley 11,465]

Anybody used one of these ?

Not for bushing ffs stick to ur spaniels and plummers

[j1985 1,983]

Why not ? If staffs can bush and if my bloody American bulldog can bush then why not any other dog with bags if drive and a good nose ?

 

 

This is a 75lb bulldog that will get through the thickest brambles to get whatever's home out or catch it in there....and his nose is spot on!

because if your going to breed a wheaten x bull your going to breed it to work and there bred for a job

[j1985 1,983]

They could do both surely ?

[U.L.D.A 289]

o I mate but there main job what I would be using them for would be drawing and heavier work not rabbiting and I no were yous are coming from but a spaniel or plummer would be better suited for bushing

[lawrence 657]

they would make a hell of a mess of your lurcher should there be a dispute over a catch...and there will be !

ive a wheaten lurcher that works cover well. but he needs watching around the terriers when he is hot. . i wont be the first or last time ive had to rescue him from tight cover twice last year i had to cut him free in brambles . handy to have at times but he adds strss to a walk out.

Most wheaten x's I have seen are unpradictable, not my cup of tea! Had a terrier snatched out my arms last season and shook like fuk not the first time neither.

[U.L.D.A 289]

Unpredictable is right but the way I look at it there game bred dogs and bred to be game for big game not for bushing and rabbits

I'm talking wheaten greyhound here mate. Just don't trust anything with wheaten. But that's me I've not been impressed with the ones I've seen. But the lads swear buy them.

i wouldnt write off all wheatens and there crosses. this lad does a grand job and ive had no real disasters. maybe this is becouse i'm well aware of his capabilities. they are game bred but so are the bull terriers. and they can be very versitile in the right hands. my lurcher knows who the boss is and i have one eye on him all the time. the other thing is the terriers arnt allowed to take liberties either.

ps as you see in the pic i also have some plummers just in case he isnt up to the job

[U.L.D.A 289]

Yes mate were any cross of lurchers is concerned whatt ever way its breed needs to be able to work round holes with terriers go round cover with them without any fighting wouldnt tolerate it out of a lurcher but were pure bulls and wheatens are concerned imo id want them to be game for everything I look at the staffys dandering around now its a shame to see there like barrels cant breath properly cant walk half a mile cant stand it lol o well thanks kennel club yous are doing a good job
