The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, a cheerful Irish farm dog, is known for its joyful and loyal nature, with a touch of terrier stubbornness. Their unique wheaten coat, ranging from pale beige to shimmering gold, requires regular grooming to prevent matting. These extroverted terriers are distinguished by their silky, wavy hair. They stand at 19 inches tall and weigh up to 40 pounds, combining a robust build with a charming appearance. Often described as 'an iron fist in a velvet glove,' they are a delightful blend of strength and softness.
