Before you purchase any purebred puppy whose breed you are unfamiliar with, you should do some research. Not every canine is right for every family. Families and animals have distinct personalities, and they have to mesh in order to create a bond. A soft coated Wheaten Terrier is a good example. These beautiful puppies with their shaggy coats, big dark eyes, and friendly demeanor may, or may not, be just the right fit for your household.

These dogs are adorable as puppies with their shaggy coats, big brown eyes and energetic personalities. They don't really change very much as they grow into adulthood. Behaviors that may have seemed cute and appealing in a puppy may not be as attractive in a larger animal. Wheatens have a lot of traits in common with other terriers. They tend to bark at the drop of a hat, and they love to dig. These dogs also jump on people they know and those they don't.

Wheatens are not the best pets for families with little children in the household. They may not appear aggressive, but they can be very territorial when it comes to their food and toys. These dogs are not especially patient with someone pulling their ears or trying to ride them. They can also be pretty rough playmates, which is fine for older children but not so much for little ones.

If you are someone who spends long hours at the office or travels a lot, this breed may not be a good fit. These animals need attention and do not do well if they are left alone for long periods of time. They don't like to be crated as a rule either. After a long day at work, you might come home to a house that looks like it has been ransacked.

Many owners love the boundless energy these dogs seem to have. They are always ready to run and play. Wheatens need plenty of exercise to keep them healthy and happy. One mistake you don't want to make is allowing them off their leashes in an open area. They will take off immediately and completely ignore your commands to stop and return. If you let them loose in the backyard, the enclosure should be high and secure. Wheatens can jump incredibly high fences easily.

For those used to keeping their kitchen floors spotless, this animal can be a challenge. They are sloppy eaters that don't care about tracking food and water. If you don't have time to brush them regularly, you should probably pick another type of animal. They need frequent grooming and their coats have to be trimmed to keep it manageable.

Wheatens can have health problems that include their kidneys, skin, ears, and digestive tract. If you decide to adopt one of these puppies, knowing their genetic background may be important.

Adding a pet to your family dynamic can be a great thing or a total disaster. You should never assume a puppy will outgrow annoying characteristics and turn into the animal you always wanted.
