Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is an Irish breed with a history dating back at least two centuries, originally developed as an all-purpose farm dog for hunting, herding, and guarding. Distinguished by its abundant, silky, wheat-colored coat that does not shed significantly, the breed combines the tenacity typical of terriers with a more agreeable, people-oriented disposition. Wheatens are playful and exuberant companions that retain a terrier's independent spirit, requiring consistent training and regular exercise to thrive.
