Right Breed For You?
Is a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier the right breed for you?
Are you looking for:
>A bright, affectionate companion
>A medium-sized, sturdy dog
>An energetic, fun-loving, active dog
>An occasionally exuberant personality
>A dog with an attractive, soft, wavy coat
Are you willing to:
>Monitor and socialize an active puppy
>Train an independent terrier, starting with puppy classes,
a real “must”
>Devote time to grooming, daily for some stages of growth
and weekly for mature dogs
>Bathe, blow dry and trim, or have your Wheaten
professionally groomed monthly
>Provide a safe, fenced area and lots of exercise
>Share your home with your Wheaten
It’s no secret that Wheatens are affectionate, attractive, dogs. Be aware that they are also curious, independent terriers requiring consistent, positive training throughout their lives. And although Wheatens do not shed, they are a high maintenance breed, requiring an extensive and ongoing grooming regimen. See our Grooming and Care page. Even those owners preferring to use professional groomers will need to devote time each week to brushing out coat and keeping Wheaten feet and ears clean.
