History of ErinisleErinisle Wheatens is located in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada. We purchased our first Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier from Penny Downey of Bresail’s Reg’d Wheatens in 1990. We had our wonderful girl, Bresail’s Nifty Niffer CDX CGC St. John’s Therapy Dog, for 13 years. She excelled at obedience and obtained the obedience title of #1 Soft-Coated Wheaten in Canada in 1995. With the failing health of our beloved Nifty Niffer, we knew that we couldn’t live without this outstanding breed. Show
In 2002, Bill and Janice Cunningham of Waverleyglen Reg’d Wheatens entrusted us with the wonderfully healthy and sound girl, Waverleyglens Ema O Torramhoir. By the age of 10 months, Ema had finished her Canadian championship (obtaining a Group 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, Best Puppy in Group, and multiple Best of Breed) and became the foundation of Erinisle Wheatens. Erinisle Reg’d Wheatens is a very small family-run kennel. Our puppies are home raised with our family. They are given lots of attention and tender loving care. Our Wheatens obtain health clearances (i.e. hips, eyes, PLN, and PLE) before they are bred. Our puppies are sold with written guarantees. All puppies are microchipped and CKC registered. We breed mainly for pets, but do show and obedience as well. We have a canine training school (Kawartha Canine Dog Training in Lindsay, Ontario), so as an obedience instructor, I will encourage all our puppy people to get involved with their local dog training centre early. We feel that all terriers are rambunctious and very curious, but can and do excel at obedience and agility when training starts at an early age. We are members of the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier Association of Canada, the Canadian Professional Pet Dog Training Association, and the Canadian Kennel Club. Main Content

Their gait is free and lively with good reach and drive; their tail held erect. Their abundant, soft, single coat distinguishes them from all other terriers. Their wavy coat is not evident in youngsters. It is long and silky with a gentle wave. Their overall appearance is often one of grace and strength in an alert and happy dog.

HistoryOne of only three large terriers of Ireland, the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier originated as an all-around farm dog, perhaps serving in this function for hundreds of years. Besides the ever-essential terrier function of protecting the home or farm from rodents, they also helped round up stock and guard the homestead. Their early history is largely undocumented; however, they are mentioned as a progenitor of the Kerry Blue Terrier. In 1937 they were granted official breed status in Ireland. The English Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1943, and in 1946 the first Wheaten Terrier came to America. They did not instantly catch the public’s attention, but instead they took their time building a firm basis of support. In 1973 the AKC granted recognition. The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier has remained a breed of only moderate popularity. TemperamentThe Wheaten Terrier is a playful companion. They are often affectionate, congenial, and much gentler than most terriers. They are generally responsive to their family but can be headstrong at times. They are generally good and patient with children (although some may be overly boisterous with small children) and usually very friendly with other household dogs and pets. They may dig or jump. They can be one of the quietest terriers, barking only for real alarms. UpkeepThis is an athletic dog that needs a good daily workout, either in the form of a moderate to long walk or an invigorating game in the yard. They should be allowed loose only in a safe area or fenced yard because they are prone to chase. Their long coat needs brushing or combing every two days. As a nonshedding dog, loose hair becomes entangled in their coat and will mat if not combed out. Bathing and trimming every other month is necessary to maintain their health and they may require some professional grooming. Health
