Wheaten Terriers are powerful dogs of respectable size that were used on small farms to kill vermin and other jobs. They were long used for hunting badgers and otters, a tough job.
Spirited and game, good tempered, very affectionate and loyal, very intelligent, Wheatens are great friends and wonderful defenders, without a drop of aggression.

Wheatens most likely belong to the oldest of the four Irish terrier breeds. They can be traced back at least two centuries, based on texts that mention “soft haired” dogs. Their connection to the modern Irish Terrier appears to be the result of intentional breeding experiments, so Wheatens probably have a well mixed lineage. Despite the breed’s long history, it was not officially recognized by the Irish Kennel Club until 1937. The breed has gradually gained in popularity since then and is now spread throughout the world, although the overall population is fairly low.These hardy, active, short-coupled dogs are well-built to the extent that they give the impression of possessing strength. They are not too leggy or low to the ground.
