The Wheaten is an intelligent, robust and game family dog needing a lot of exercise, love and affection, and, because of its Irish stubbornness, consequent upbringing.
”The Wheaten Terrier is temperamental and resolute, affectionate, loyal and taken to its master. It is intelligent, a trustworthy true friend, ready to defend yet free of aggression.” (Quote from breed standards of F.C.I.)
