Background:  The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a versatile dog with an outgoing personality.  He makes a great family dog.  Wheatens are fairly territorial and protective of their family, so they make good watchdogs.  An occupied Wheaten is a good Wheaten, so involve him in family activity.  His coat is non-shedding and hypoallergenic, making him the only medium sized dog for people with allergies.
