Our Wheaten Adventure

 

Our journey into the world of Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers began in 2002. After the passing of our beloved Yorkie three years prior, the idea of bringing a new dog into our family resurfaced. My husband expressed a desire for a Wheaten after spending time with my sister’s Wheatens who were such fun dogs. I agreed it was a good fit with kids and allergies to consider, and I always loved their adorable faces and delightful personalities.

 

However, finding a Wheaten to join our bustling household was no small feat. At the time, we had four young children, the youngest being just one year old. That’s when fate introduced us to Kristin Peterson. My sister had met Kristin at a dog show where she was exhibiting her Wheatens, and mentioned our interest. Kristin agreed to meet us, and that meeting marked the beginning of a cherished friendship.

 

Two years later, after the unexpected arrival of our fifth child, we welcomed Cadence into our family—a beautiful Wheaten from Kristin’s breeding. Initially intended as a family pet, Cadence’s charm and elegance caught everyone’s attention. I ventured into the world of dog shows after strong encouragement from Cadence’s breeders, Kristin and Roni. Though I had much to learn, I embraced the challenge, and with dedication, Cadence earned her AKC Championship in March 2008.

 

Inspired by this experience, I decided to breed Cadence the following year. She had her first litter of six precious puppies in 2009, followed by two more litters in 2010 and 2011. Each puppy brought joy and further deepened our love for this remarkable breed.
