#Soft coated wheaten terrier full#
All Wheatens are born dark brown and go through a color changing process and a haircoat change which actually takes a full two years for the adult coat to fill in. Neither coat sheds, both are low dander and great for allergy sufferers. We do raise both Irish coated and American coated puppies. We spent the additional time and money to import our dams and sires from Ireland to ensure good health and the traditional Irish coats that are a rarity here within the states. Part of this litter would carry Irish haircoats with the remaining puppies carrying American haircoats.Īlthough all Wheatens do stem from Irish roots, those with American haircoats have deviated from the original Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier breed as it originated in its homeland. Upon further research and study you will find it said time and time again that the Irish bloodlines produce a healthier dog due to the larger gene pool and the lack of the crossbreeding that was done by Americans and the British to create the dense wooly coats of today’s American coated Wheatens.Īlthough not done often, if an American coated dam/sire is bred to an Irish coated dam/sire, we are able to produce an American coated puppy with wonderful first generation Irish blood. When breeding an Irish coated wheaten to an Irish coated wheaten, all puppies in the litter will have Irish coats. Our Irish born parent stock meet the standards of both the IKC and the American Kennel Club (AKC) and therefore carry registrations from both clubs.
In the past years, we have since adopted a few loving American born Wheatens as well. One look at these beauties and you’re sure to fall in love.
These parents have traveled many miles to become at home with our family. Heartland Classics offers quality gentle natured Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers produced by our Irish import parents. Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier - Irish Haircoat
