Breed Introduction
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, originally from Ireland, dates back to the 18th century. This breed is believed to be one of the oldest terriers in Ireland and is quite common in the Kerry and Cork areas, although its exact origins are unclear. It is an expert in hunting otters and badgers.
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a medium-sized, brave, and well-coordinated sporting terrier with a square body outline. A notable feature is its soft, silky, slightly wavy coat, gentle wheaten color, and its distinctive gentle temperament. This breed demands a moderate build and appearance; any exaggeration is unnecessary. The overall temperament is alert and happy, graceful, sturdy, and well-coordinated.
