The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a highly versatile, brilliantly joyful farm dog from Ireland. Unlike the harsh, wiry coats of other terriers, the Wheaten possesses a stunning, incredibly soft, silky, gently waving coat of warm wheaten color. They were bred to herd, guard, and hunt vermin.
Wheatens are famously known for the "Wheaten Greetin’"—an intensely enthusiastic, jumping welcome they give to anyone they meet. They are deeply affectionate, highly playful, and less scrappy than typical terriers. Their beautiful coat does not shed, making them hypoallergenic, but requires intense, daily brushing to prevent severe matting, which is a massive time commitment.
