Is this the right breed for you?

Are you looking for:

	A bright, affectionate companion
	A medium sized, sturdy dog
	An energetic, fun loving, active dog
	An occasionally exuberant personality
	A dog with an attractive soft, wavy coat

Are you willing to:

	Monitor and socialize an active puppy
	Train an independent terrier - starting with puppy classes (a real "must")
	Devote time to grooming - daily for some stages of growth and weekly for mature dogs
	Bathe, blow dry and trim - or have your Wheaten professionally groomed - monthly
	Provide a safe, fenced area and lots of exercise
	Share your home with your Wheaten

It's no secret that Wheatens are affectionate, attractive dogs. Be aware that they are also curious, independent terriers requiring consistent, positive training throughout their lives. And although Wheatens do not shed, they are a high maintenance breed, requiring an extensive and ongoing grooming regimen. Even those owners preferring to use professional groomers will need to devote time each week to brushing out coat and keeping Wheaten feet and ears clean.
