Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Dog Breed Information

An alert, determined, brave, and independent dog that’s very devoted to its humans and has a friendly nature and happy disposition. Sounds like the perfect breed for you? We’re talking about the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.

This is a medium-sized dog that stands 17-19 inches tall on average and weighs around 30-40 pounds. The average lifespan of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is 12-14 years.

In terms of family life and personality, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is very affectionate with family members and does exceptionally well with young children. This breed can get along reasonably well with other dogs in the household and those they meet outside the home, but early socialization and training is key to ensure a well-adjusted adult dog.

This breed has a strong will and a mind of its own, so it can be challenging to train. Furthermore, prospective owners of a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier should keep in mind that this breed has moderately high energy levels and requires some physical activity and mental stimulation every day. These dogs bond with their owners during play, so it’s important to participate in daily activity with them. The energy levels are sustained well into old age. Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers can be vocal and may bark quite a bit, so that’s another thing to keep in mind.

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is neither too aggressive nor too reserved towards strangers, but this dog does not treat everyone like their best friend either. They are quite playful and modestly vigilant. A Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier can adapt to some change in schedule, activities, noise levels, etc.

In terms of grooming requirements, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier has a medium length silky or wavy coat that does not shed a lot but requires almost daily brushings. The daily grooming session needs to include a a brushing with a slicker or pin brush to remove debris and then another brushing with a fine-toothed brush to remove mats. You should not use scissors to pull apart any mats in your Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier’s coat. This dog does not drool excessively.

If you’re looking for a low shedding breed that has a striking looking goatee and an exuberant and friendly nature, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier may be right for you. However, this is a breed that needs diligent daily grooming care, so you should be prepared to make that time and effort commitment.
