My wheaten chased rabbits and gohpers all his life (we live in the country). Poor boy never caught one.

@spriddlez It's their enthusiasm that is so entertaining.

That dog will never catch a rabbit, but he can sure try.

Wheatons were bred for work,and some do still hold a bit of working breed in them,rabbits keep them fit and on their toes,they were used mainly as a herder and a hunter years and years ago and were used for going to ground and coming face to face with badger,which most could handle and come out on the winning end.

This guy is awesome at finding rabbits.  The dog not so much.

I have two wheatens and I would never let them off leash like this. You can hear traffic in the background of the video; was there a road nearby? these dogs will chase anything on to the road and get run over.

Has he ever caught one? I hope he just chases them for fun. Cute video.
