Wheaten Terriers In Rescue


Recommended Posts

Friends of mine have recently acquired a "staghound" pup from rescue.

She is 5 months old and only knee high. I suspect she's as much a IW or Deerhound cross as I am. That wiry coat can come from a range of breeds and neither parent has to have had it. Witness the raft of poodle crosses with it.

I'd prefer to see dogs described in terms of temperament, coat and activity levels. A lot more helpful to a potential adopter than an often inaccurate breed ID but I appreciate that labelling dogs as "crossbred" isn't going to find homes as readily as some breed info.

Oh and one more thing. If you want to try to ID a dog's breed heritage, start with the top 5 most popular dogs in the area and the most likely to be BYB. That's where the crossbred pups come from.
