Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Characteristics
Sturdy and fun loving, Wheaten Terriers are known for their friendly and outgoing personalities, making them excellent family companions. They love to be part of the family’s activities and also enjoy the company of children. They are also known for its silky coat, playful personality, and affectionate nature.
Intelligent and quick to learn, the Wheaten is also independent and will require motivation in the form of positive reinforcement training using food, toys and the opportunity to perform enjoyable activities.
They make excellent watchdogs and they can bark excessively if not properly trained. These dogs are not one-person dogs and will go with anyone. As with all terriers, there is the sparkle of mischief in their eyes and this is a breed that they will keep on your toes even with frequent training!
