West VA and PA as well as other areas of VA. Does anyone know of a recommended breeder? What is the expected cost?

Thanks for your help!

With regards/Therese Norberg.

we have a 9-month-old wheaten puppy. after a combination of events--vacation, neutering--he developed some bad mats on chest, head and paws. our groomer went the full monty and shaved him completely. any advice on what to do next? were giving the little guy lots of positive reinforcement about his new "summer look." were applying sunsreen for his four daily walks and/or playing in the backyard. how quickly will the hair grow back, and will the texture be different? i had heard you should "never shave a wheaten."

with her wetting the bed. If any of my children should happen to leave their bedroom doors open she goes into their rooms and wets on their beds. Any suggestions anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder how long before he begins to resemble anything close to a Soft-coated Wheaten again.

Also wondering if anyone else has experienced behavior problems with their wheatie when visitors are around. We seem to have a lose of control when company arrives.

Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ann

I appreciate your fast responses. Im depressed that Otis is sick, and disgusted that the bredder never returned my call but grateful that our vet took the info and ran with it. If need be well tap into Purdue vet school as it is not too far. Do you guys all have Wheaties? How do you know so much. I hoping its not because youve had your own experience with this. Thanks again guys...we appreciate it.

8 year old male wheatie, beloved family member is sick. Started with kidney infection and 6 lb weight loss. Got 1 lb back on but he is throwing up about once a day. Using

special diet from vet whose trying and baby food but I would like to get him over this. Contacted breeder who is worthless and will not return calls. But I do remember when we got him she told me about a kidney thing (I think) that pops up every once in awhile in the 8th or 9th year. Can anyone give some direction or insight on this? Id really appreciate it.

To whom it may concern in your quality control department:

On Saturday May 13, 2000. I took my dog, Crunchy, a mixed breed of a soft-coated Wheaton terrier, to your Petsmart store located around 2300 N. Elston in Chicago. I had made a 10:30 grooming appointment the previous Saturday. We arrived early. This was our first visit to the grooming Department at Petsmart. When we arrived the appearance of the grooming area seemed fairly clean, this bit of information is important for it did not stay this way at all. When asked what type of cut I would like for Crunchy, I stated that I wanted a terrier cut and when prompted to blade size I judged by an example she had on the counter so I said since it was for the summer, that her body be cut with a 7 blade and her tail and head trimmed up but to leave it fairly long. I mistakenly asked the women to use her best judgement. Trusting that she was a professional groomer.

Go to the SCWTCA website at scwtca.org and locate breeders to contact. There is info about rescue there too. If you got Hobbes from a breeders, contact the breeder and let them know you would like another. Sometimes they have a show prospect that didnt work out, a puppy who was returned or the like.

five stiches in my cheek. He lasted about 6 months more. There were six kids in my family under the age of 13 and this

pooch was a bit too much work for my poor mom (and a little too jumpy!). My parents took poor Clancy on a one-way trip

to the country. We never saw him again. Ive been in love with Wheatens since this time and would love to have my own. Please

help me find one. I live in Virginia am moving to Massachusetts and would provide a loving home to one cute wheatie.

We chose these two breeds because the dogs are very good with children, intelligent and hypoallergenic.

The dog would be well cared for in a climate-controlled home with a fenced backyard. We have two children, 6 and 9, who love dogs.

These two particular breeds are difficult to find, so we are open to suggestions about other breeds. Thanks.

Wanted for a family pet.

Pets are treated extremely well and reared as a family member-I can give you my vets name for a reference .

We live in the Tucson, Arizona area.

If there are any breeders or kennels out there who have any pups, now or very soon....we would appreciate being contacted at:
