These are the similarities and differences I notice
Both breeds - medium sized, non-shedding, friendly happy loyal pets, both love to walk, hike or romp, and see snow as an open invite to dive in and enjoy. Hardy dogs not hyper.
Lagotto - love water and swimming, highly intelligent, keen sense of smell, like to dig, can be aloof with strangers, love their families. Love to retrieve. Make excellent hunting/retrievers. Great therapy dogs. Neutral with other dogs.
Wheaten - Irish clowns known for their wheaten greeting. Intelligent and alert. Terriers and therefore will stand their ground if confronted by another dog. Happy to meet strangers and all visitors. Some swim and some do not.
Both breeds require regular grooming. The Lagotto coat can be easier to manage than the wheaten.
