What is Wheaten Health Initiative?
Wheaten Health Initiative is a focus group formed by a number of owners and breeders who
believe that the health and well being of the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier is of the utmost importance.
With the involvement of worldwide ancestry within our breed, we believe that there should be easy
access for all to health developments and testing in other countries.

"Their
Health In Our Hands"
Our Logo is designed to demonstrate the fact that the health of this beautiful breed is, literally, in the hands of us all,
owners and breeders alike, and to depict our vision of global co-operation.
The onus is on all Wheaten Terrier owners and breeders to build up
knowledge of the ancestry of their dogs and to understand the health
issues and testing protocols as they are developed.
In owning a Wheaten, you take on not just a dog, but a shared
responsibility for the future of the breed.
Their health really is in the hands of all of us.
