    My Wheaton is 5 years old and I couldn't love him more. He is a perfect companion. I take him to a groomer, so I don't have to deal with that. When you talked about them drinking and dripping water, I had to laugh out loud! I am so well trained by now that when I hear him drinking water I run for his towel and stand ready to wipe the beard when he's done. I've done that since he first came home with us so he's used to it and even seeks me out if I do miss getting there quick enough.

      You sound like a good owner, can you tell me: shedding? And how about fighting with other dogs? the only terrier I ever had was really nice--but not with other dogs, fought at the drop of a hat.

      @@jimquantic no shedding at all. I am allergic to most other dogs, but not my Wheaton. Plus his fur is super soft. He is super sweet and a great companion. He doesn't do well walking on leash and will not tolerate a shut crate. He's happy to be in his crate, but only with the door open. My grandson has two dogs and when they come visit my dog is great. He's pretty excited for a good while and they play, but no fighting.

      How would you describe his temperament? Would you say the video did a good job of describing the breed for the most part? I live in the US, and although I’m fairly certain I’ve seen a few of them, I don’t recall ever hearing anyone mention the name of the breed. I like the fact that they don’t shed a large amount of hair at the beginning of Spring. Also, I wish Americans would stop docking tails. It’s such a selfish, cruel, and utterly unnecessary thing to do.

      We have a shelter pet that looks a lot like a Wheaten or a Wheaten - Poodle - Schnauzer Mix. Behaves like described in the video, for sure. Very bright and reads body language and knows a lot of words. He is very bossy and when we don't do as he wishes, we get pawed, herded, howled, jumped on, the stink eye, knocks phones or books out of your hands, and when he just can't hold out anymore, we get nipped. He jumps up, grabs a shirtail, or your hind end. He never gets scolded; however, we do have a beeper box collar which works very well. Overall, very wilful and chases and digs for all creatures smaller than him. We think he had a hard life till we adopted him...he was about 6 months old and weighed 11 lbs. He's now at 22 lbs.

    Our Wheaten is very sociable, loves people, kids, other dogs. She is our first dog and she is 3. Loves snow, but does not like hot weather at all. Leash walking can be challenging as she is a sniffer, but is very good off leash. Does not bark. Super playful, loving and smart.

    It's anecdotal, but I'm highly allergic to (most breeds of) dogs yet I was able to grow up with a Wheaten. Not only was I not allergic to her hair/fur, but she never shed -- EVER, like never-ever. She had to be brushed frequently (which she disliked) and taken to the groomers to be sheared like a little baby lamb (which she loathed). For someone who loves dogs but is allergic, the pros outweigh the cons for this breed.

      Mine is 2 years old and absolutely clueless, she loves kids and other dogs. But she’s a shithead. They tend to be really picky eaters, and just weird little spunky dogs. They are the best, and super sweet loving dogs. And it’s totally true that they won’t go out in the rain, and they’re unreasonably strong and impossible to move. 10/10 would recommend.

    • @katshenassa
      @katshenassa 4 роки тому +1

      My wheaten is 10 now. He is the first dog I have owned, and I cannot imagine a better dog! Fun loving, goofy, very smart, obedient, great with kids, friendly with other animals, non-allergenic. I would highly highly recommend this dog breed for families. The only caution is that due to the fact that they love to jump and play, they might knock little ones over by accident. Although, our wheaten has now learnedd to be very careful around our young niece and nephew. Again, if you are thinking about getting a dog, wheatens are highly underrated. Also, they look very much like a labradoodle, so why would you get a mutt when you can get a purebred?

    • @MemilyMorrellrev
      @MemilyMorrellrev 4 роки тому +1

      Our 13 yo wheaten is an absolute regal queen who, as said before, must think rain beneath her. A mud puddle on the other hand...
      She's so sweet, even as she loudly her snores in her advancing years. Still plays like a puppy but her joints hurt so it ends early. Still walks twice a day and delights us with her highly intelligent sense of humor when's she's just hanging out. Id say this video was highly accurate about all stages of wheaten companionship.
      Oh and the soft mouth thing... Absolutely the most gentle treat receiver and preforms "leave it" surprisingly well, given how headstrong she is!

    I am on my 5th Wheaten Terrier. Love the breed. They are smart and train well. The one I have now is a rescue. He is a good dog, his biggest problem is he has separation anxiety. I have him for 8 months now and he still is suffering from the anxiety. I have made some progress, but when it comes to actually leaving him alone he does not do well. He pants heavily, and usually has his front paws wet from panting. I do have him on meds, but that doesn't seem to be helping either. I have to crate him or else he will pee and poop. If anyone has any tips I would appreciate it.

      I haven’t owned a Wheaton, but we do have a now older Labradoodle…they have some Wheaton in them to soften the coat…and being nearly 80 lbs, was very strong and could be unpredictable (I’ve got the “new” R shoulder to prove it). When he was 2 years old, I got a Smooth Fox Terrier as a companion and playmate for him. The pup came from a home breeder who was in a bind because of a necessary heart surgery, and the pup was only 6 weeks old when I brought home all 4lbs of her! I was leery about how Riki would take another dog in the house. I put her down between his huge paws as he laid on the floor, and to my surprise and delight, he was like an angelic stepmom to her. Fox Terrier’s can be difficult to house train, but she learned to ring the bell I’d hung for Riki, though I kenneled her at night. What was your question? Oh, yeah, get a playmate for your dog! Worked for us! Unfortunately, we recently lost our little 18lb Bella to lymphoma not long ago, and Riki is an old man now, still mourning the loss of his friend. Wheaton is a breed I’m looking for to; well, not replace, never can replace a loved pet, each is so different with their own quirks and giggles, each, the best dog you’ve ever owned, but blunt the pain we know is soon to come. A companion helped us a lot as they both were high energy dogs, and could chase each other around the yard if we couldn’t get to a park that day. In speaking with our vet re: a young dog learning from the older one, he agreed that was common, but they may also learn the bad habits like garbage can raiding, and while Riki had a deep, respectable bark, which I encouraged when someone came near the house, Bella could hear an ant cough in the yard and bark. That’s on me. Not trustworthy with children, and because she was small, Riki, the love muffin, so big, she was less intimidating to kids…not a good choice, we had tell so many kids “no” when asked to pet her. She never bit, but was a bully, it appeared to me. Sweet with us, not very social with people. And shed 20lbs of undercoat/day. Get a companion dog!

      If you ask the groomer for a puppy cut. They'll cut the hair back from their eyes. The hair doesn't grow like that. All of the hair on his head grows evenly. That's just the way they groom them. You do have to trim the hair on their nose so it doesn't grow into their eyes. Every time I give my wheat and terrier a haircut it takes us a while to get used to how surprised he looks!

A change in food, area, soap, spray and cause this. Its a bacteria that they normally have on their skin that gets inflamed and infected (sort of like hives for a person)
