Irish Wheaten Terrier

The Irish Wheaten Terrier, also known as the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier, is a breed of dog that originated in Ireland in the 18th century. The breed was developed for hunting vermin, as well as for herding and guarding livestock. They are medium-sized dogs, weighing between 30 and 40 pounds, with a soft, silky coat that can be wheaten-colored or have variations of red, brown, and white.  Famous owners of Irish Wheaten Terriers include U.S. president-elect Joe Biden, who has two Wheaten Terriers named Major and Champ, and actress Kirstie Alley, who has a Wheaten Terrier named May. The breed has also been recognized by various kennel clubs, including the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club. They are popular in dog shows and have also been used in various dog sports, including obedience, agility, and tracking.  Irish Wheaten Terriers are known for their friendly, outgoing personalities and their love for their families. They make great family pets, but they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. They are also known for their intelligence and trainability, but they can sometimes be stubborn if they sense that their owner is not the pack leader. Overall, the Irish Wheaten Terrier is a lovable and loyal companion that has won the hearts of many dog lovers over the years.
