Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier

As its name implies, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is prized for its coat, which is soft, silky, with a gentle wave, and of warm wheaten color. Underneath, however, is a formidable dog that leaves no doubt as to his terrier origins. Square and medium-sized, he is happy, steady, self-confident and alert to his surroundings. They relate well to children and can adapt to city, country, and suburban life.

The Wheaten is single coated and sheds minimally and is hypoallergenic, but needs regular grooming to keep its coat mat free.
