Category - Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier

What they are:
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a medium-sized Irish terrier with a single, silky wheaten-colored coat that gives the breed a soft, friendly look. They are sturdy, athletic and less ‘wire-coated’ than many terriers.

Temperament:
Wheatens are friendly, enthusiastic and affectionate. They enjoy family life, tend to be playful with children, and are often described as having a sunny disposition. They can be a bit strong-willed and benefit from consistent training.

Care & exercise:
Grooming includes regular brushing and occasional trims to keep the coat neat—some owners prefer professional grooming. Exercise needs are moderate: daily walks, play and mental stimulation keep them happy. Health checks should include hip and protein-losing conditions screening.

Best suited for:
Active families and individuals seeking an affectionate, medium-energy dog that thrives on interaction, training and moderate grooming.
