Some of the best attributes of a soft coated wheaten terrier (SCWT)
include:
- their affection and devotion to human beings
- their intelligence which makes them easy to train and ideal for sports such as obedience or herding
- their sense of humour (they are the only terrier breed with the word in their standard)
- their reliability as a watch dog
- their lack of aggression towards people and other dogs
- their determination to keep owners premises free of rats etc.
- their non shed coat which simply needs a thorough brush at least once a week
- the intelligent people who are attracted to them and become devoted to the well being of the breed.
However, it is all summed up in the comment of one dedicated owner, 'If you want to know about the
temperament of a wheaten terrier, recall the most congenial and delightful Irish drinker you have ever met.'
