Poor Man’s Dog – at a time when Irish landowners were not allowed to have a higher value of £ 5 pounds, the wheaten terrier was a poor man just as the Irish gentlemen were Irish wolfhounds – so they often called him “poor man’s wolfhound”.

People-Oriented – Since the Wheaten was developed as an all-around farm dog the farmer could depend on for anything he needed, it meant developing a dog with a loyal temperament. The breed is known for being “people-oriented,” wanting to be wherever the family is at all times.

Colours – 

The Wheaten’s signature pale beige coat does not come in until he reaches adulthood. Wheaten puppies are born different colours, including white or creme (and beyond!), and puppies under a year may carry deeper colouring and occasional black tipping.

Puppy Life

 – The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier often acts as a joyful puppy throughout his life. Though he will bark to announce strangers, he welcomes them as long-lost friends, usually with exuberant barking, bouncing, and face kissing.
