My name is Annie Victoria and tomorrow I will be 10 months old. I'm a soft coat wheaten terrier and my owner loves me very much even though I'm a bad girl at times. I hear that Santa is going to bring me some really fun toys. I want to wish you Happy Ho idays and tell you that I enjoyed the happy music on your website!

I loved your webpage, such beatyful pictures of your dogs. And the artgallery was fantastic, especially "Secrets". / Pia

Maureen, bless your heart from rescuing this dog and giving him such good care. [Although I don't think we should use Mr. McDuffie's site as a chat board, I could not successfully response to your email address listed below.] I have an Irish SC Wheaten (f om Ireland) and health issues may not be quite the same. If you cannot continue with home prepared diets, look into Innova and California Nature (same manufacturer). They are only available from specialty pet supply stores. [I found it locally at a su ply store that caters to breeders and kennels.] My dog use to occasionally has a sensitive digestive system and this line works for him. It also improves their coats. I cut it with a little turkey and brown rice and veggies. It is comprised of "real f od" ingredients and recommended by Holistic Vets. You may also want to contact wheatenrescue.com and post your inquiry on the Wheaten L site. Good luck. Susan

I actually rescued a wheaten from a pet store.For a lot of the same reasons MR McDuffie fell in love with them.Also for being a terrier lover my whole life.I knew some background about them beforehand.I truly believe my wheaten would have died in that st re;had I not rescued him when I did.He has had some significant health problems in the 8 month's I've had him.I feel he may have PLD/PLE. he exhibits some symptoms.MY vet and I are trying to find a hypoallergenic diet he can tolerate.I am feeding him a home cooked diet and supplements right now.I would appreciate any information or feedback anyone would care to share. THANK YOU! P>S> today is Virgil's first birthday!

Hello Joe, Hope you and the youngsters are doing well. I'm posting this note here because your Web contact email address appears to be off--my emails returned with "unknown recipient address". The big news here is that a new Irish Wheaten crossed the Atlantic recently! He is a 10 week old male from our breeder, Helen. My sister-in-law delivered him to her friends who have Paddy's half sister. Paddy and I are going over to visit him this week nd. Paddy is doing great. His coat is beautiful and he has also matured quite a bit--more obedient and trustworthy off lead. The last few months have just flown by. We never managed to get down to N.C. this fall due to brutal travel schedules. We are planning to drive down over the Christmas holiday. If you are still interested in meeting Paddy, we could stop by Cabaret. In ny event, let us know how you are doing and if your travels will bring you to our region in the near future. Regards, Susan Foulds

I think your site, dogs and all the hard work you have done is amazing. I am new to wheatens and now have a 12 week old pup by mainly holmeknocks & killykeen lines. It is good to see someone flying the irish flag in USA

Comments:
We are interested in this breed for our next family dog. We have a 5 month old but are not looking at getting a puppy until he is 3 years old. We are looking into breeders for questions about the breed. Are you puppies raised with children? What is th average live expectance for your dogs? Have you had any particular genetic genes that you have breed out? Thank you for your attention to these questions.

Comments:
It's me again and I just realized that Anthony is your stud dog. That is Dublin's daddy and Fancy is his mom. Thanks again for the great pictures on your site.

Comments:
We have a 13 week old puppy named Dublin who is CC's grandchild. Loved your site. Sincerely, Tracy

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- ----- Transcript of session follows ----- mail.local: unknown user: jmcduff 554 ... Service unavailable Attached Message Final-Recipient: RFC822; Action: failed Status: 5.5.0 Last-Attempt-Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 22:50:52 -0500 (EST) Attached Message Hello Mr. McDuffie, FYI I sent this message last evening by email and had it returned. Thank you for such an informative and caring website. I am quite confused about the number of kennels, and the seeming availability and wide range of prices for wheatens out there. I want to make a good decision here and as I have little experience with d gs need to trust someone. I'm afraid about some of the horror stories regarding health, temperment etc. Yet I wonder for our family's needs/wants whether we need the "gold standard" either. Is there such a thing as a reputable "pet only" breeder of whe tens? I ask these questions of you and hope for your guidance because its so clear from your website how deeply you care. Also you are the only person I have come across in NC. We are in Durham, NC. Please consider my questionnaire and offer me whatever feedback/information you can. Perhaps a phone conversation might be an appropriate followup? Do you ever allow visitors? Thankyou for your help, Sincerely, Nanci Burrows Nanci

Comments:
Love your web page and I also love the Irish standard SCWT. I adore my US wheaten "Luke", but I must admit that I wish the US standard conformed with that of the Irish. You must have a lot of fortitude to continue showing when you receive so little supp rt. I grew up in SC, so maybe sometime I'm back that way I'll give you a call and try to wrangle an invitation to visit your kennel and meet your dogs. Thanks for the fun web site!

Comments:
I love the fact that you are breeding the Irish coat!!! I think your story is inspiring!!

Comments:
You mentioned a breeder on Staten Island. Is she still there? My wife & I are looking for a Wheaten for our daughter for Christmas. Any help would be appreciated. thank you, sdc

Comments:
I have two wheatens and they are the best dogs in the whole world. They love enyone and eveything

Comments:
I read your essay on your introduction to scwt breed and your philosophy of breeding. I wish you well--I have a scwt--I don't really know whether he is the irish type or the american type but he is wonderful--when I am looking for a new "youngster" I sha l contact you. good luck!

Hello, I filled out your questioniare late last night and came back to view your site again. I can see why many, many people would like to get a puppy from you. My heart is very empty now, I don't think I could stand to wait to bring joy back into it. I am so leased to see a breeder that cares so much about how he place's his dogs and how carefully you watch your lines for health and temperment. On Sun. 10/22 I called a Wheaten breeder who had an add in the newspapper. She has a 4 month old little boy left. y Husband wanted to run out the door and drive 2hrs. to Rockford, Ill. to get him. I really would like a female because, of the peeing on the front legs that a young male will do. I feel a female is less dominant and having rasied 2 human boys, I don't ant be be the only female in the house(it's a women thing.) My husband is only willing to spend $550.00 on a dog which make's our search nearly impossible for a carefully breed Wheaten. I have looked at rescue Wheaten's and fear they may have Temper prob em's and training a real challange. Also, my Son doesn't want what he calls...another used dog. I love all breeds, even the loveable mutt. After owning a Wheaten my family wants but...a Wheaten. Do you have any advice? Wendy,

Two years ago, we were looking after my in-laws' dog for a couple of weeks. While walking him in the park near our home, my wife came across a frail little old lady being walked by a boisterous, shaggy haired, blonde dog. My wife has always loved dogs, bu since we both work, and our two boys were only 8 and 6, we had put ownership of one on hold. However, my wife enquired of the little old lady what breed the dog was. The lady replied that she didn't think it was anything special, she had obtained it from a rescue home when her other dog died, as she loved the company, living as she did, on her own. However, she had only had the dog a few months and admitted that it was a little lively for her. Well, we became friendly with the lady (Gwen) and her lovely d g (Molly) and took it out for long walks for her at weekends. Gradually her stay with us lengthened, until one time we had her over the whole Christmas period as Gwen was visiting relatives. During this time, of course, we all grew to love her... her inte ligence and loving nature were like no other dog we had known. Soon after, Gwen, who suffers badly from asthma and is well into her 80s, asked us if we would like to take on Molly full-time, since she didn't think she was able to give her enough exercise. Well, sad as we were for Gwen, we didn;t have to be asked twic . We had reservations about leaving her in the house for many hours during the week, but we have a fully fenced, quite large, back garden, and we always give her two good walks every day, one at 6.00 am (!) and one in the evening. We also have two Burmese cats which she is QUITE friendly with, so she has adapted beautifully and shows no sign of stress. Up to now, we thought she was just a 'bitsa' (bitsa-this, bitsa-that), but on our travels around with her we came across several people who remarked that sh was a lovely Wheaten Terrier. This prompted some research on the web, hence I came across your site. Your description of your first meeting on Broadway is so accurate, and all the other characteristics mentioned on the other sites led us to the inescapab e conclusion that we have been amazingly lucky to have found a typical, gorgeous, Wheaten. We don't have her show-clipped, but we do have her regularly trimmed, and we keep her brushed well, especially in winter! It gets muddy round here! Anyway, many thanks for the site. Not sure if Molly is from Irish, English or whatever-stock, but all we know is that there has never been another dog like her.. a sentiment I'm sure you hear from most owners!

Comments:
Beautiful dogs! Thankyou for making it possible to see them. I have three Wheatens myself, one of which has an Irish coat. I also loved your introductory music - so suitable for Wheatens, as they are such clever performers! My very best wishes, Audrey, from "down under".

Comments:
I had a Wheaten for 11 years before he got cancer. A more loving and playful companion cannot be found anywere. He was also brave, he saved my house from burning down when it caught fire by alerting me to the danger. He loved water, rain and thunder st rms. He liked to go out, look up at the sky, and bark at the thunder. He tried to catch the rain drops as they fell. I would highly recommend Wheatens to anyone with allergies. I still miss him even after 3 years. I plan on getting a new puppy as soo as I have a good place I can keep him or her.

Comments:
I think all soft coated wheaten terriers are so cute. Especially when they are puppies! We are thinking of getting one of these or a shih tzu. (that's a whole different story!) Maybe you can e-mail us more information about wheatens. All we know is that they don't cause allergies. Thanks!!!

Comments:
I really enjoyed your website! Ever since I saw my first Wheaten terrier this August, I know that this will be my next dog. I don't plan on getting one until I'm secure with a job (after I graduate in December) and a place that is suitable for a dog to li e in (no crowded apartments). So, I realize that it may be a few years before I get one, but I know it's what I want. The puppies are adorable to look at and the adults are beautiful. The informational page was a great education, thanks. Once again great age and thanks for the education. ~Stephanie

Comments:
Dear Joe, Dennis told me he had talked to you after we lost Kelsey. I am still having a hard time dealing with his death,but I've decided it is time to try to find another Wheaton as wonderful as he was. Do you have any puppies on the way? Could you pleas call me at 207-947-7134 or at work at 207-942-7399 as soon as possible. THANKS VICKI

Comments:
Great Site, Lovely Pups. This is the breed I want to purchase for my family!

Comments:
I have to have one!!!! I don't care how long it takes, I want a good one with good bloodlines so I can enjoy it for many years. Please help me.

Comments:
You have a wonderful site here. I am impressed with the information that you have provided and the sincerity with which you delivered it. It is refreshing to see someone who is passionate about their vocation. Thank you.

Comments:
Hi Joe, I wrote to you quite a while ago regarding puppies. You wrote me back a very nice e-mail, and I just wanted to let you know, I have my beautiful, 17 week old puppy, Regan. It was you who really turned me towards the Irish type and I wanted to thank y u!! I don't think it's possible for him to go through "the uglies"....He is the most beautiful dog in the world and has a great personality. We just started training classes and I'm anxious to see how they go. Let me know any tips! Thank you again ! ammy Belanger

Comments:
i have a soft-coated wheaten terrier that turns 6 in december. he looks like a little teddy bear and is fun to be with. we dont give him that ugly cut that people usually give their wheatens...we give him a puppy cut so he'll stay young and healthy to us ll the time!

Comments:
Hi Joseph, just found your website and I must say it is wonderful, my compliments. Having a wheaten-boy now for about 3 1/2 years I have become one of world's greatest wheatenlovers myself. My Tommie also has Newkilber (Jesse James) and Wheaten Rebel's (G orgie Girl) blood and looks very much like your girls. He is everything I wanted in a dog and my best friend ever. Wishing you all the best with your dogs in the future, I remain, with kind regards Edith.

Very informative web site. We submitted your questionnaire. We are currently seeking Wheaten breeders with available litters.

Comments:
We are looking for a loyal family pet that will be much loved. Our 13-15 year old Corgi-beagle mix died last year (We got him from the Humane Society - the vet was never quite sure of his age). The Wheaten seems ideal. My son has slight allegies. I h ve two loving and responsible children. We live in Michigan. We are looking for a responsible breeder. Do you have any recommendations in Michigan. I would truly appreciate some guidance. Thank you. Anne Argiroff

Comments:
I am looking for a family dog and researching several breeds. My youngest son has slight dog allergies and therefore consulted the AKC about "hypo allergenic" type breeds that I could look into. In that process I found your site and must say I am quite im ressed. I may be giving you a call to discuss the possibility of acquireing one of your pups when you have another litter. Regards, Joe Robinson

Comments:
Excellent!!!! Finally a man that wants to straighten out the breed- for real!!!! I am sooooo tired of these "visionaries" who think that they are "improving" the breed! Phooey!!! I want one of this man's pups for pet puposes only. Having owned German Shepherds for years, I am dropping out of the breed because it has literally been ruined by "visionaries" who thought they could "improve" the breed. Thanks to them all, it has been d stroyed now!!!Good work!! I also want a smaller dog, that is not a shedder. Shepherds, God bless them, shed 24/7. :)I can't handle all that hair anymore, I have arthritis, and am not so picky about my house as I used to be.I say let the dog jump up on the couch and watch tv with the rest of the family! Well, I am rambling, so I will hush! :) My old shepherd is failing now, (11 yrs. in Feb.2000) I don't think she will be with us much longer....I don't want to be without a good dog! The reason I loved Shepherds was because they seem to understand the world around them. I think Irish Wheatons are the same! Are they not? Again, I say BRAVO to Mr. McDuffie-- the dog world desperately needs more people like him!!!!(so do the dogs!)I would like to have him consider me for a female pup probably pretty soon....I WILL spay her, as I want her only as a loving, guarding pet. I am not in the show bus. any longer. Thank you, Mrs. Julia Pastore

We are beginning to think seriously about getting a dog again, after quite a few years without one. We love animals and found the information on the Wheaton terriers to be close to what we are looking for. Timing: Spring or Summer 2001.

Comments:
We enjoyed your web site and it brought back memories of our Wheaten - keep up your efforts about Irish

Comments:
In looking at your web site, we saw the picture of Barclay! We had a scwt for 14 years named Barkley- he was more than a member of the family. The web site is great. We are seriously wanting to get another scwt and your site made a tremendous impact on ho much is missing from our lives without one.

Comments:
We are interested in the Wheaten Terrier as a companion for my husband and myself. I have submitted the questionaire and look forward to hearing from you.

I'm so impressed with all the care and time you take to raise your youngsters. I really don't see them as unattractive - they're cute. Please let me know if you would seriously consider us for one of your sweeties.

Hi Joe, Just thought I would say hello. I have the stud dog Ch.Shar-D's Happy GO Lucky Fella "Anthony"-- Dee and I are excited about the breeding between Anthony and your dog Fancy. Irish x English. Look forward to talking with you sometime. Do you go to Montgomery ever? Amy

Comments:
I've really enjoyed your website and learned a lot about Wheatens and about your love for them. Good luck to you always!

Comments:
I love your website. My family is the very happy owner of one of Steppers kids. We bought him from Arlene Hettig and couldn't be happier. Riley is beautiful and just the nicest young guy. Thanks for your dedication to returning the Irish look.

Comments:
I really enjoyed your website to the point that I read every bit of it. My husband and I are looking at the breed. We currently have a wire fox terrier - a wonderful dog - and an old Shih Tzu who is also wonderful, gentle, loves people. I am very intere ted in the role dogs play or can play in the area of therapy whether that be with youth, the elderly or the emotionally compromised. I had the opportunity to pet a wheaten a couple of years ago and it still sticks in my memory. I like your strick adheren e and concern over the well being of the breed and the standard. If I can talk my husband into a third dog, I may be contacting you. If not, I may contact you in the future when my precious "old" girl goes. Thank you again, Joseph - Bonnie Webb

Hi, Joe, thanks for visiitng my web site and I am glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed your write-up on SCWT, how you fell in love with one and about Irish tpe wheatens. I am glad I found Cynthia and Morgan will be very well cared for. I plan to do show, obedie ce and agility work with him.Best wishes....Sue

Comments:
I would love to meet some of your youngsters. I have owned 2 American type Wheatens and lost both 2 PLE/PLN. I now have a 5 month old Wheaten puppy and can't imagine having another puppy for awhile...but I really was impressed with your youngsters and yo r philosophy.

Comments:
I fell in love with Wheatens at a Atlanta AKC dog show about three years ago. I fortunately now have a wonderful companion male Wheaten named Oliver who will be two years old in June. I would love to come see your dogs/pups if it wasn't too far to drive from Atlanta. My husband and I are interested in obtaining another Wheaten in the near future as a "playmate" for Oliver. He has always enjoyed being with other dogs ever since his first obenience class at six months.

Comments:
Hi Joe......I have long admired your beautiful European wheatens, in fact, yours were the first I saw at Montgomery some yers ago. I thought your bitch at that show was really special. While my line is still healthy, I dread the inevitable appearance of LE/PLN, and have made a promise to myself and my husband. While I know that there is no guarentee that this dreaded disease will not show up in the European lines, I still have those feelings of the beauty your little girl exhibited that day at Montgomer . It has been at least 10 years since then and I still remember her as if it was yesterday. AND her temperament was impeccable!!!! It's time that the Lonestar Wheatens did some true soul searching about adding an Irish wheaten to this O'Neill clan. I hope to see you at the next Montgomery and reintroduce myself to you. You are one of the reasons that I stay on this list. You are the voice of reason and stability. With respect and admiration to you & all the Cabaret Kids, Tom and Wendy Neill Lonestar Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers

Comments:
I love your website. I am in love with Barclay. Please e-mail me of your next litter.

Comments:
I thoroughly enjoyed your well informed web site. Your Irish Wheaten terriers are absolutely beautiful. Please inform me of when you or a breeder you would reccomend has puppies. I really value your expertise. I feel very fortunate to have found your we site. Thank you so much!!!!

Hello Very nice website. MARINA

Comments:
Enjoyed viewing your beautiful Irish family. My Murphy looks much like your "Madame Foo Foo". It was nice to know that the dark hair on his face and on his back are not that uncommon. He isn't a year old yet though and I know that he can change. Thank you for your devotion to this wonderful breed!

Comments:
Great job on the website. "CC" is my favorite. The "stone" will suffer in your absence.

Comments:
Interested in a soft coated wheaten, pup or up to 2 yrs. old. Will be in NC next week.

Comments:
I loved you website. I've been very interested in Wheatens for a few years now. The first time I saw a Wheaten I fell in love. I have a precious, wonderful 10 year old Cairn Terrier now. She's an only child and will be for the rest of her life. She would be very mad at me if I got another dog now. I love Cairns dearly but I'll probably want two dogs next time and the Wheatens i terest me a lot. And a change might be nice. So at some point, I might be contacting you about your pups! I've never showed a dog and would probably only have pets. I love the look of the Irish Wheatens and agree with your philosophy whole hardily. Again, I really enjoy reading your site.

Hello again Mr. McDuffie! Just visiting again and felt the need to say thanks for returning our last E-mail. Linda and I are the parents of Jolynn's Danny Boy, and I think he enjoys your site as much as we do-he's a single child, pampered, spoiled, and little lonely. I believe that we'll turn to you in the near future to assist with finding DB a life partner. Best Wishes, J&L Bender.

Comments:
Have been learning about the Soft coated Wheatens for the last couple of years. Did not realize there was a big difference in the Irish vs. American dogs. Read your letter with interest. As soon as we are settled, my husband and I will be shopping for "youngster." We will continue to follow your web-site. Sincerely, Carolyn Plummer

Comments:
We thoroughly enjoyed your website and seeing the pictures of your "youngsters". Your kind response to our request is most appreciated! Many thanks.

Comments:
I am the proud owner of 2 50% Irish Wheaten and 50% North American Wheaten Terriers. I've had dogs ALL my life --- but none of them compare to the loving, loyal and cuteness of the Wheaten Terrier! I was in love with the Irish coat the first time I laid e es on them! People , no matter where I am, stop me to look at, inquire about and complement me on them. My 3 year old male "MacArthur" is of the "laid back" nature and his 1/2 sister "Meka" is the lover and sometimes "trouble - maker" Meka is 2 years old nd is still maturing into her adult coat. I just wanted to say HELLO on behalf of my "sweetie Wheaties" Marcy

Comments:
Hi! I'm a "lurker" on the Wheaten-L and I always enjoy and absorb much wisdom from your posts. The latest on "breeding with PLN/PLE" have been particularly articulate and instructive. My partner and I are the lucky companions/moms of 3 wheatens (three nd a half years down to nearly 11 months old); they are our beloved "youngsters" and household companions. I pray every day that they escape any potential disease, as well as for all those who have been afflicted. We are not looking to add to our family at any time in the predictable future, but when we are (and, God willing, it will be many years down the road), I hope we will be able to be considered by as thoughtful, knowledgeable, and playful a breeder as you. Thank you.

Comments:
Beautiful animals and very well groomed. Impressive pedigrees too.

Comments:
Nice site! We've enjoyed it twice.

Comments:
Great Page, I am looking for a breeder in the midwest that will have puppies in June/July. Got any ideas for me.

Comments:
Just visited to see Professor and Leslie as you suggested. The photos of all the dogs and puppies are wonderful! Thank you.

Comments:
Your site is incredible! Before I surfed in I was torn between Kerries and Wheatens. Knowing that there are breeders like you who want what's best for the breed has helped me make my decision. Wheatens it is! You've received my questionnaire and I hope to hear from you soon. Keep up the good work and keep doing what's best for your "youngsters!"

Comments:
Loved your site and would like to talk to you about getting a puppy. We just had to put our wheaten down after six and a half years because of aggressive behavior. My toll free #1-800-845-2778 voice mail #7. my home #1-406-586-2730. Our desire for a dog i to have a loving pet with a great temperment the #1 priority. Look forward to talking to you before we fill out the questionaire and any other paperwork you require. We would also look at a mature older dog if less than 3 years old if you know of any res ue situation. Thank you for your time. Jerry & Cathleen Perkins

Do you acknowledge your applications?

Comments:
We are a very proud family of an IRISH Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier named Maggie. She was born on August 1, 1999. We do not intend to "show" her, she was "adopted" as a family pet. Mostly for my two daughters, Kayla (12 yrs.) & Hannah (9 yrs.). We LOVE the IRISH Wheatens and hope to someday "adopt" another.

Comments:
You provided a lot of information. I'm just beginning a search for a dog; didn't know anything about wheatens. Thanks for the lessons.

Comments:
Great site. I learned alot about Irish Wheatens and you certainly seem to care a great deal for them.

Comments:
I came upon your web site by accident and was very impressed with your concerns about the breeding of Wheatens. We have a female Wheaton (Lindy) who will be 4 years old this May. She is the "love" of our life, goes everywhere with us and is a joy to be around. Not a mean bone in her body, loves everyone she meets (people, dogs, horses, cats, birds but not rabbits). We have had other terriers breeds before, but none as sweet as a Wheaten. They are truly everything you say and MORE!!!

Comments:
I came just to look at pictures of the Wheatens, but was truly impressed with your webpage design.

Comments:
I truly enjoyed your website. It is beautifully laid out and full or terrific information and pictures. My family's Wheaten just died this year and it was quite touching to look at all your young dogs. For the record, I think you are on the right track bringing back the old Irish strains. My only question: are breeders whose lines are based in American stock breeding back to your dogs? It seems to me when it's time for an outcross they couldn't think of a better choice. Thanks again! Katie p.s. I am currently campaigning my Portuguese Water Dog bitch, hoping that she will be the foundation bitch for my kennel

Comments:
I have an American Wheatie whom I adore to no end and am becoming more appreciative of the Irish breed. Your site is absolutely wonderful and informative. Thank you for such careful information and all you are doing for the breed!

I enjoyed reading your philosiphy on breeding Wheatens. I feel very comfortable with having you provide me with a "youngster", if you decide I will make a good "parent" for one of them. I have submitted one of your questionairs.

I'm in heaven looking at your beauties. Thanks for sharing...jen

Comments:
very much enjoyed your web site. informative and caring. i've spent many hours researching wheatens on line and will look forward to adding to our family within the next year. good luck with your youngsters

Re-visited your site today.We acquired Clancy in July from Anne Holihan of Canada. He is everything we expected and doing well.He's much larger than our Colleen, of 1965,which enables our Bichon, Dudley to walk UNDER him!

Comments:
Hi I just got a wheaten terrier yesterday and he is funny, laidback, and he is happy to make YOU happy! His name is Buddy and he is the best...we <3 wheatens here in South Carolina.

Comments:
Am researching breeds as I just lost my Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and I do not want to replace that breed because he was such a great pup and I do not want to compare him with another Toller. I have seen the Wheatens and they appear to be a very laid-back dog which is what I want. My question is: are they hypo-allergenic, not that it really matters. Do you clip their coats as we live in the woods and I spent hours de-burring my Toller each Fa l. I would love a bitch, to be spayed, as a friend, not a show dog. What is the general price range for Wheaten puppies? I have lots more questions, but they may come later. Thanks!

We are currently researching breeders here in California and are now mindful of the differences between IRISH and AMERICAN soft coated wheaten terriers!

Comments:
Hello, Your web site is wonderful. We are looking to add a Wheaten puppy to our family next March. I can promise you I will be in touch.

Comments:
I liked the questons you asked.

Comments:
Loved your site. Filled out the questionaire. Looking forward to your reply.

Comments:
Really cool page, I have two soft coated wheaten terriers myself, and they are still pups. Well really good page keep up the good work, oh no they want me to play with em again... bye

Comments:
I've been doing a lot of research on the wheatens and they sound like the perfect dog for me. I was wondering if you currently had any pups available? I'll hope to hear from you soon. Thanks. Matt

I've become interested in Wheatens, and will be looking for one next spring. I have located 3 breeders in the state of Washington (Elena DeLanda in Bothell, Mel & Diane in Puyallup, and Shelly Sumner in Spokane)and 2 in British Columbia (Penny Rogers & J dy Hodgkins). Are you familiar with any of these breeders or their breed lines?? Do you know if any breeder in the Pacific Northwest (including British Columbia) that has the Irish line of Wheatens? My father in-law lived in Ireland until 19,and I am o Scotch-Irish ancestry. My wife (Mary Harley) and I have both been to Ireland twice (once together with our son & daughter). My son currently lives in Washington D.C. and works in Falls Church, Virginia. He is not very familiar with Wheatens yet. Any dvice or referrals would be greatly appreciated.

Joe, They're adorable. Can't wait to meet them! Kerry

Hello, I love your site. I also have a similar site located at the above url (which has info on submitting your sites to the directory, if they aren't already there). But if you would like to bypass the beginning of the site, and go directly to the Iris Terrier section of the directory, it's located at: http://www2.crosswinds.net/~skyefearie/breeds_irishterrier.html; or check out the Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier section of the directory, it's located at: http://www2.crosswinds.net/~skyefearie/breeds_scwt html Come see and sign the guestbook!

I very much enjoyed reading your web sight. What a great story about Biscuits. I have an Irish Wheaten, Maggie, who is almost 6 months old. She is my love, but driving me a little nuts with still having accidents in the house. I have used the crate co sistently, and take her out on lead routinly. She understands that she is supposed to go when we go out, but doesn't seem to understand that she should wait. Also, doesn't give me any clues that she needs to go. Any suggestions? Thanks, and again, a g eat websight!

Comments:
What a great website! Really enjoyed seeing your Wheatens. We have not heard from you on the "L" for a while, keep on posting as your imput is so valuable Melissa, Fozzie and Molly in Miami

Thank you!!!!! i will be visiting your website often to get my Irish Wheaten fix.

Comments:
We've loved Wheatens for years and really enjoyed your website. We now have two young children and are looking for a Wheaten through rescue societies. The pictures made us excited and motivated. Continue enjoying your music and your Wheatens.

Mr.McDuffie, Hi. I've written to you a couple of times, and filled out a questionarre about a month ago. You did respond to me once saying that you were looking for a job, and were very stressed. I do hope that things have calmed down for you a bit. Could you please let me know if you've read my questionarre? Maybe you've read it and thought that I was not suitable, please just let me know what I need to change. Thank you for your time, Karen Hill

Hello Joe, I have not written in a while, just started thinking of you as I was sitting here looking up some info on the computer. I don't know if you remember me or not, My name is Gene Kollmer. My wife and I have been in touch with you about adopting a heaten. We have been in touch with Donna Hensler, her girl had a litter of 4 a couple of months back, unfortunately we are a little further down the waiting list. I guess the timing is just not right for now. Well I really just wanted to say hello and vi it your site, it really is a pleasent site to visit. We are still looking, if you do happen to hear of a pup or dog for adoption, please don't hesitate, drop a line. Well god bless and be well, bye for now. Gene Kollmer

I fell in love with Wheaton Terriers and my husband at about the same time - 6 years ago. I don't know if that first one I noticed was an Irish type, as yours, but I've never seen another that I've liked as much - could that be why? As we are now thinking of growing our family I've just started some research. I am touched by your compassion and commitment in what I've read. How refreshing to see someone so dedicated.

Comments:
I am interested in adding a Wheaton Terrier to our family in the next month or so. He/she would be a family pet. Do you ship the animals? How do I get a good quality pet in the AZ area? How much do the pet quality run?

Comments:
Your site is wonderful. I have learned so much about the breed.When we had Colleen there was only Irish lines and no disease. We are anxiously awaiting a response from you regarding our questionaire.

Comments:
We are trying to locate a breeder in Northern Indiana or somewhere in the midwest. Could you recommend any? Love your website and your breed..Regards,, john

Joe, I love your site!

My beloved Wheaten, Jules, passed 3 years ago this June 15th. Wheatens are so precious and few, that I have had the honor of seeing 1 since Jules' death. I am interested in the possibiity of getting another Wheaten, however, the health issues and in-bre ding seem to keep me at an arms length from the commitment. PLEASE email me for further information about your darlings and possible chance of puppies for sale. The one Wheaten that I have seen was from a puppy mill in New York. Could we intervene this uppy mill and get those darlings out of the cages that they are currently being held captive? I miss Jules so very much, but most of all, his "WOOOOOOO" when he was happy.

I have a soft coated wheaten terrier whom I have had for 6 years.Since moving into this new house in NOv. Her behavior has been terrible.She hides under the beds and won't go out.She growls and tries to bite anyone who tries to get her out.She also now ur nates and deficates in the house.She has multiple problems with her skin,ears,and eyes and have tried her on Prozac which seemed to help for a while then she went back to the same behavior.I am heartbroken to have to give her up since I'm a single parent n a very limited income who can't afford to take her to the vet frequently,do you have any suggestions or know of any adoption agengies that would take her?Can't bear to put her to sleep.My children may never forgive me but I would rather see her in a new home.Thank you,Robyn

Dear Joe, Speaking with you is a delight. Your web site is as wonderful as you are. I look forward to the day I am told "your kid is on its way" and I will rush to the airport and greet it with all my heart! Thanks for being............You!

excellent page, we dont have many wheatens here, its great to see a web site

Comments:
Love the Web site Can you email me with you email I have something I'd like to pass onto you

Comments:
Just as you, I have fallen in love with these darling dogs. We lost our Pom a year ago to cancer. I greatly miss the kindness and loving nature a gentle pet contributes to our home. I would love a(female)puppy. As I am not a breeder, pet quality would be most acceptable. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Linda Hanson

Comments:
I always appreciate your comments. My parents are both from Ireland, Co.Cork, Co. Gallway. Irish songs and tales were a mainstay. That and the fact that this the best breed in the world, has made me a Wheaton owner/lover. We bought our Bonnie Sweet Molley Malone from Bonnie Snyder in Thousand Oaks, CA. almost three years ago. These have been the best three years of our lives. I mean it. I am most interested in the Irish breed. I was not even aware there was a difference until I read one of your comments. I m not ready to go anywhere with this right now, but I would like to know how one would get a true Irish Wheaton. I have the feeling you are the best kind of breeder. Thanks

Comments:
Thanks for a fun sight. We are hoping to get a true IRISH Soft coated wheaten terrier from a breeder (the pups are 2 weeks old). We have two little boys (7 and 10) and we are very excited to have a new family member. Any advice?

Comments:
They are beautiful.

Comments:
Your dogs look lovely. I have two SCWT's who are currently in the show ring (Wicklow Holweit's Princess Xena and Wicklow's Stormin' the Gates). Xena is more your type of dog- she has great coat and color (although she is almost 2 and is just starting to come into her own- she has been slow to mature). However, as she is only the breed standard height for bitches, she is often overlooked by judges for larger more plush dogs(!). Keep up the good work. Your article was very interesting!

Comments:
Hi, Joe. We love your web page and enjoyed reading about your dogs! We just filled out an application and sent it on its way! We will keep in touch with you and look forward to hearing about your upcoming breeding. Are we still looking towards the end of fall? We will wait patiently because we know it will be worth it! Thanks! Yvonne and Ted

Just went though every page and I must say it was very well done. I may love and breed Bouviers but Wheatons do come close!!!! Sonya

Ciao a tutti gli amanti dei Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.

Thank you Joe, for all your wonderful information! We are currently the happy owners of a year old female Wheaten - would never want any other kind of dog - and yet we had such a hard time finding out much info on the breed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge,experiences, wisdom, and Wheaties!

hey Joe, Somewhere down the line, after we talk etc. would you even consider allowing me to breed to one of your studs? Or is that a NoNo? I am under contract to MA Dallas for one more breeding, to her choice, after that.......I am on my own. Then..........I REALLY will be A BEGINNER, but I know in my heart I am going towards the Irish. If you have any words of wisdom of what I should be thinking. PLEASE, I want your direction. Miss your e-mails......Ellen Dix

I very much enjoyed your presentation and found it interesting as well as informative. A quick vignette about my introduction to Wheatens: I really knew nothing about the breed, read about them in an all breed book and thought - great, a medium sized fri ndly dog who does not shed (wow, low coat maintance) and is very un-terrier like!!!!! So, what did I know??!! I was attracted to something about them and went to view them in a show in Baltimore. At that time I knew one person who had gotten one of Emil Holdens pups years ago. Well, as a researcher, I immediately went out and got the little hardback book found on all breeds at petsmart-type stores!!! Now comes the point of my story....I noticed something different about the dogs in some pictures vs. o hers. I described the 'different' looking dogs and told my friend that I liked this type and asked what was the difference. My friend smiled and said that what I wanted was the Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier!! I didn't realize that breeders like you existed!! Your dogs are beautiful! Carol

Hello Joe! Wonderful website! I almost bought a Soft coated wheaten 5 years ago but it was too soon after my german Shepherd died. I like the size of the wheaten and through the new Zealand Kennel Club here in wellington have the name of a lady who breeds soft coated wheatens Im not sure if they are Irish or American, but suspect they are Irish as they dont look cutesy or fluffy.Im saving my money and when I finish my Business Degree later in the year I'll buy my own wheaten. In fact I might even start my wn Wheaten saving Plan!! They are about $450 US here. I think your dogs are just beautiful. regards Deborah

Hello from Finland ! Your home pages really made me happy. That is exactly how finnish breeders should start to think - to appriciate more the original irish soft-coated wheaten terrier's natural, shiny and silky outlook. Unfortunately allmost all wheatens here in Finland are of that fluffy awful american type of coat and we have only few breeders that try to continue Mrs. Maureen Holmes's work. Keep up the good work over there ! Regards, Mia and Risto Hemmilä
