Sturdy and fun loving, the Soft Coated Wheaten is a friend to one and all. He's relatively easygoing for a terrier, needs a moderate amount of exercise, and can make a great family dog. That soft, silky coat needs a lot of grooming, however, and the Wheaten can occasionally be hard headed when it comes to training.
