Introduction

Cherished for their friendly demeanor and silky, wheaten-hued coat, Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are medium-sized dogs brimming with energy and affection, which makes them fantastic family pets. These exuberant dogs display a joyful zest for life, with a noticeable spring in their step that reflects their high activity level. While known to be deeply loyal and loving towards their owners, early socialization is paramount to ensure they're well-adjusted around other dogs and strangers. Their distinctive single-layer coat requires regular grooming to maintain its luster, safeguarding its beauty without excessive shedding.
