unfortunately, 95% of the wheaten owners I asked said they get their dogs from petland and I'm definitely not doing that. The others said their breeders werent close to ohio and I'd prefer so to ship my pup.
I'm wondering if any of you other yorkie people know of any good wheaten breeders in or around ohio. I've checked the akc website, but I'd also like to have recommendations.
Also, I know a couple of you on here have had/do have wheatens. Anything besides common knowledge stuff I should know?
Thanks for any help you can offer! |
I would never recommend a yorkie owner to get a soft coated wheaten Terrier. YOur yorkies are at risk of being seriously hurt or killed. Not so much maybe when the Wheaten is a puppy but definitely a very high risk when it is an adult.
Wheatens are hunters partial to rabbits. A dog's eyesight is not that great and easily will mistake a yorkie for a rabbit. Wheaten's have a very high prey drive. Unfortunately the Yorkie would be the prey.
