The Wheaten

Greetin’

The Wheaten Terrier is known for its loving greetings, earning it the nickname of the

Wheaten Greetin’.

Wheatens rock!

Maggie is my Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier. She is 12 months old, and is very playful. Maggie loves greeting people and playing in the snow. We got her on June 26, 2009 from a breeder in Lancaster, PA through a website called greenfieldpuppies.com. Maggie can sometimes be a little rough, but when you need someone to cheer you up, she can put a smile on your face.

The Wheaten’s Build

Wheatens are medium sized with long Terrier legs. When

Wheatens are born, they have a rusty brown coat. It’s only when they outgrow their puppy stage, that it turns blonde. As this happens, they develop a soft, luscious, silky coat. As adults, they can have a long tuft of fur that covers their eyes, called a fau. They can also have a long beard under their chin. Also, as soft and sweet as this pooch seems, they still have those

Terrier teeth.
