ReplyDeleteI have a wheaten! Her name is Nika! Had her for 10 years. Shes not a dog, shes a member of the family!
ReplyDeleteMy Wheaten's name is Riley, aged 18 months. He's perfect.
ReplyDeleteGot a Wheaton puppy in January and could not be happier. This dog loves people, especially childern other dogs and is a constant source of entertainment. be aware though, this is a high energy dog and he needs to be outside running around for at least an hour a day in a fenced in area,otherwise he runs around the house like a maniac or finds something to chew on and he can destroy a cheap toy in minutes. Mine is fearless and will not hesitate to run in front of a moving car. He actually ran under a moving cement truck and thanks to his speed survived the incident unscathed. A fence went up right away and we are thankful he is still with us. when he is not running around, he becomes the sweetest lap dog ever!! If you have a place for him to get exercise and time to spend with him, GO FOR IT. This dog has exceeded my expectations in every catagory and I highly recommend this breed. Just to give you an idea of our puppies energy, we decided to name him Freddy " Mayhem" Finnegan.
ReplyDeleteWheatens absolutely love people.
ReplyDeleteOur Wheaten's name is Rudy, he is 9 monthes old. Love him so much. Can have an attitude and he has a mind of his own. Can't believe how many people stop me when I am walking Rudy and tell me how cute he is. Rudy looks like a little bear before he is groomed and a little lamb after he is groomed.
ReplyDeleteI have had 2 wheatens. They are the best dogs ever! They are a nice mid sized dog. I'm allergic to most dogs but these could sleep right next to me with no problems. Awesome dogs!
