Their fabulous dogs!!!! In the right hands... they are NOT on a whim dogs. The coat takes true dedication to keep it healthy and looking like the breed should. (Even the irish coat that is less dense than the English/American coat needs regular brushing). The dog itself takes true dedication as it is people orientated and wants to be with you.
They make super family pets...again...in the right hands. Aggression shouldn't be in the breeds makeup, however, like any breed, when temperament isn't high on the agender of the breeder you do get problems. They are terriers but shouldnt be sharp. Size varies enormously, the standard asks for dogs to be between 18-19 1/2 inches to the withers, many can look down on an airedale

I have noticed a huge increase in adverts on the internet advertising 'wheatens' for sale/stud...(many don't even look like wheatens) nothing is mentioned about parents being hipscored, eye tested, blood tested, urine tested etc, very worrying:?

Remember, convienience doen't not buy you a better dog. I had to wait over two years for mine. Expect to pay around £800-£1000.

The SCWT org is very good about providing info, there is a SCWT competing in Working Trials at the moment. Too much hair for me!
