Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Dog Breed Temperament, Health Issues, Grooming, and Living Conditions
- 20/11/2010
Temperament: The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a happy playful dog. It is strong and nice natured Terrier. They can get along with children and other dogs. This dog needs a good pack leader, which is able to understand that a dog needs good guild lines to follow, to bring out the best in the dog. Socializing this dog as a puppy will help the dog to be well balanced. This dog can live with cats that have been raised with them but if not then you have to be very aware of the dogs' fast nature and correct things early, or the dog will be off on a fast chase. Set rules for the dog on what is and is not allowed and this will help guild the dog.
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier will bond very closely with its family. You will need to be firm, but not harsh, and consistent to gain the best for this breed. This is not the dog for the meek owner as this will bring out the worst in this breed, and you will see a dog that is aggressive. They may try to take over the home, from the owners and you can end up having no control over this dog. This dog stays puppy like throughout its life.
Health issues: The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier can have PLE and PLN this is a protein wasting disease. Other things that they can have are inflammatory bowel disease, Addison's and cancer. As with a lot of the Terrier family there is evidence to suggest wheat intolerance. As with any dog it is very important that you make sure they are up to date on all vaccinations, de-wormings and heart worm preventatives. It is also suggested by the majority of licensed veterinarians that you take your puppy or dog in for a check up at least twice each year.
Grooming: Brushing is not recommended for the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier but daily combing is better.
Living conditions: This dog will live in an apartment, providing they have great daily exercise. They need a small garden.
