About Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, originating in Ireland, is a medium sized all purpose farm dog in the Terrier Group, historically used for herding, guarding, and ridding property of vermin. Happy, steady, and self confident, Wheatens are exuberant family companions who thrive on close involvement in daily life and generally get along well with children and other pets. Typically 17-19 inches tall and 30-40 pounds, they sport a distinctive single silky, gently waving wheaten colored coat that requires frequent brushing and regular trimming to prevent matting. They need moderate to vigorous daily exercise and enjoy active households.
