The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is an exuberant dog that is not your typical pet dog, but that doesn’t mean they make bad pets. They have grooming needs that the average dog owner isn’t up for, and they aren’t overly easy to find.
These friendly and loyal pups seem to have all the best of the terrier traits, although they also have a stubborn streak that will keep you humble. Their wavy, wheaten-colored coat is an unequivocal trait of the breed, although there are some coat texture differences between Irish-bred and American-bred dogs.
No matter the coat, your new Soft Coated Wheaten needs an amazing name that captures the breed and their personality.
How to Name Your Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier
We all know that it can be overwhelming to choose a name for a dog, and sometimes you choose a name that you end up unhappy with later down the road.
While dogs can relearn their names, it’s ideal to pick one name and stick to it. To pick the right name, you can start by collecting names and words that you like, and then start narrowing them down based on your dog’s personality, temperament, and looks.
Even if it doesn’t seem like a normal name, write it down and see how it fits. You might be surprised what words can make excellent names for dogs.
