Witthaven Wheatens, Canadian Kennel Club Registered


We are a small and passionate breeder of purebred and registered Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers and strive to produce healthy and beautiful family members to approved buyers. All our puppies are born and raised in our home. We take great pride in our breeding program and health test all our breeding stock, provide a written health guarantee for our puppies and constantly evaluate the offspring.

Wheaten Terriers are a wonderful family pet when socialized and obedience trained as a puppy. They adapt well to most living situations as long as they are with their family. They are medium sized, non-shedding, good with kids, fun loving, spirited, tenacious and loving!

Wheatens enjoy doing anything including obedience, agility, therapy work, camping, canoeing or just laying around the house keeping an eye on things. Wheatens want to become an integral part of your family :)

As a dedicated and reputable breeder, we spend vast amounts of time with our dogs, puppies and families.  We go beyond the required health tests of our breeding stock and provide a 2 year health guarantee for our puppies. We stand behind the quality of our dogs.

We are members in good standing with the Canadian Kennel Club and the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Association of Canada; and as such, we adhere to the guidelines, practices and ethics.

Here at Witthaven Wheatens, we don't have a kennel, we own a few CKC registered females from champion lines that live as pampered pets most of the time. Once they have passed all the health tests and are considered to be of excellent conformation and personality, they are used in the breeding program.  The males we choose are always CKC registered, from champion lines, are regularly health tested, and complement our female and her characteristics.

We provide a comprehensive puppy package with lots of advice and support forever.  We like to keep in touch and expect that if at any time during the life of your dog you need to find a new home for it, that you will call us first as we often have people asking us for older puppies or dogs.

Witthaven puppies are born and raised in our home and stimulated every day right from birth using a "BioSensory" Program.  We raise our litters using the "Puppy Culture" method. We provide a comprehensive puppy package with lots of information on training, obedience, health, grooming, etc.. Our puppies are vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped, registered with the Canadian Kennel Club, well handled and immensely loved. We leave tails and dewclaws natural.

Each litter gets their own blog so you can keep updated regularly on how your puppy is doing. ​We also encourage you to visit your new puppy during the 8 week growth period.

Most wheaten puppies are born brown or reddish brown with black markings and lighten to the colour of "ripening wheat" according to the breed standard. The coat continually changes until 3 years of age, so there is no way of knowing exactly what colour your adult wheaten will be. Physical and mental health is our number one priority, coat colour is secondary.

We are not a kennel and the females and puppies live in our home.

We generally have only one or two litters per year.

The breeding stock we use are regularly health tested and determined to be in excellent health. Based on the DNA testing protocols for wheatens, we can guarantee that NO Witthaven puppy will ever carry two predisposing variant alleles for PLN. We will travel far and wide or even ship in semen to use the right male for our females that complement their characteristics. Our girls live as pampered pets most of the time! All our puppies are sold on non-breeding contracts that we strictly enforce. You are required to neuter your puppy within 4 months of taking it home, if you aren't willing to do that, please don't apply to be on our waiting list!

If you would like to be considered for a puppy, please contact us via email witthaven1@gmail.com  and we can discuss puppy ownership. There will be many questions to answer and we prefer meeting our families in person, we will not ship a puppy. We welcome serious visitors to our home when the time is right to meet us and our girls.

Although we understand that some people like to pick out their own puppy, we usually decide which puppy will be best for each family. We spend weeks getting to know their personalities that a buyer could never fully appreciate on a short visit to our home. We have had great success matching puppies and families and we use a puppy aptitude test at 7 weeks as well as the day to day interaction with each puppy to determine the best homes. We will take your preferences into consideration and do our best to please you, but there are no guarantees. They are all equally adorable and none of them will carry the same colouring as an adult anyway.
