The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a lively, affectionate, and energetic dog breed originating from Ireland. Known for their unique wheaten-colored coat, they possess a friendly, outgoing temperament that makes them excellent family pets. Wheatens are highly devoted to their owners and love interacting with people, requiring early and consistent training and socialization to thrive. Despite their energetic nature, they adapt well to city and country environments, provided they have regular exercise and mental stimulation. Their high energy level and exuberance mean they need plenty of activities, or they will find something to do, making them ideal for active owners who can offer the necessary attention and engagement.
