The Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier is a dog breed originating from Ireland. The four coat varieties are: Traditional Irish, Heavy Irish, English, and American. The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, also known as the Irish Wheaten Terrier, the Wheaten Irish Terrier, the Wheaten Terrier and the “poor man’s wolfhound,” is a medium-sized, sturdy terrier that originated in Ireland several centuries ago as an all-around farm dog for poor tenant farmers. He is an alert and happy dog, with his silky, wheat-colored coat being a hallmark of the breed. The Wheaten is less “terrier-like” than most other terriers, with a much softer coat and a less aggressive or “forward” disposition. It still has a strong instinctive desire to chase smaller animals, especially cats, and it can be strong-headed. The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier was fully admitted to the American Kennel Club in 1973, as a member of its Terrier Group.
