Wheatnbrook Kennels Reg’d breeder of Wheaten Terriers and lagotto
Menu
Why do I breed wheatens griffs and lagottos? I grew up on a farm where my mother raised shelties She raised shelties for over 50 years and was a life member of the CKC. As a junior handler competing at dog shows I knew my life would always involve dogs, and showing them, it is a hobby that I truly love and enjoy. I have been breeding for over 30 years. What was the attraction to the wheaten terrier? Initially I was attracted to wheatens after watching a wheaten compete in an obedience trial. Upon researching the breed more closely, I fell in love with the whimsical clown like personality of the wheaten terrier. The coat I saw as a challenge, as I would need to learn to groom! The non-shedding factor was welcome news. And of course being Irish the fact that they derived from Ireland sealed the deal. What the Wheaten Terrier has given back? Years of love! The wheaten greeting cannot becompeted with, .....what a warm welcome home! I have met so many wonderful people, both in breeders that I socialize with, and the many wonderful homes next came the Brussels Griffons that captivated my heart - special thank you to Judge Max Magner who mentored me in this lovely sweet toy breed. Their expression says it all! The Lagotto Romagnolo seemed a logical breed with wheaten terriers, medium sized, intelligent, non-shedding and their love of water and sense of smell is second to none. I consider these the top 3 breeds and grateful to own them !
