About the breed
The soft-coated Wheaten Terrier (Irish: An Brocaire Buí – literally, "Yellow Terrier") is a pure-breed terrier originating from Ireland. Wheatens typically have one of two coat types: Irish or Heavy (American). The Irish coat is generally silkier and wavier than the Heavy, or American coat, which is thicker and fuller. The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is named for its silky, wheat-colored coat.— English Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0
