The Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier is an Irish breed with a silky, wheaten-colored coat and happy-go-lucky personality. Less aggressive than many terriers, they're friendly, playful, and affectionate. They're known for their enthusiastic "Wheaten greetin'" when welcoming people home.
Daily exercise through walks and play keeps them balanced. Their soft coat requires regular grooming to prevent mats. Training should be consistent and positive. For families seeking a friendly, adaptable terrier with a soft side, the Wheaten is wonderful.
