Anyone have a Wheaten Terrier?

I saw a soft coated Wheaten Terrier the other day, and I really liked it. Kind of reminds me of a sheepdog.

I was wondering if anyone owns one, or had one in the past?

I'm not looking to get a dog now, but just wanted to know hands on experience. Personality, trainability, and energy level.

There were 2 at the dog park last nite, at different times, and someone I know one has one. I just hear wonderful things about them. Active, playful, friendly, and non-shedding.

The 2 at the park were loads of fun. Both enjoyed the sprinklers and got very dirty. Both played well with both Bosley and Dixie.
I've always been attracted to this breed as well. I think I like big, friendly, comfy-looking dogs!! :roll: :lol:
One of our forum members (wizardmerlin) has an oes/wheaten cross named Faith that she rescued last year.
They are great dogs. I grew up with two of them. Great personalities. They become very attached to the family. Much more protective of the family than an OES.

I will say, they are definitely not a first time dog owner dog. They are very smart, headstrong dogs that need a very atttentive owner who knows what they are doing with the training.
Thanks everyone!

I'm not looking to get one right now, maybe in the future. I already have 12 animals, and my other half said I will have to live in the barn if I bring anymore home.

Love me, love my animals,......being a vet tech I get so attached. He knew that when he married me.
