Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
A.K.A.: Wheaten, Wheatie, SCWT, Irish Wheaten, Soft-coated Wheaten, Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier
Overview:
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a medium-sized, playful dog originating from Ireland, where they were all-around farm dogs, helping to herd and guard livestock. Their most striking physical feature is their silky, single coat of wheaten-colored fur, which requires regular grooming to prevent matting and maintain its unique texture. Temperamentally, Wheatens are known for their enthusiastic and affectionate nature, often described as "bouncing" with joy to greet their families, making them excellent companions. They are generally good with children and can adapt well to family life, though their energy levels mean they thrive with active owners and benefit from consistent training and socialization. While their moderate size might suggest apartment suitability, their need for exercise means a house with a yard or dedicated daily walks is preferable. Health-wise, Wheatens can be prone to certain protein-losing conditions like protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) and protein-losing nephropathy (PLN), making regular veterinary check-ups important for this beloved breed.
