SCWTCA - Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of America

09/19/2026

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of America supports all its owners. When we were reviewing what pages are. most viewed on our website it was the information on a Wheaten Pet Trim. We want you to know we have great instructions on different types of pet trims and we have an excellent Grooming Chart that is basically just the cost of a mailing. We hope you like it. If you have any questions on grooming we are here to help. Email us at [email protected]

If you have a picture of your Wheaten we would love to see it. Even if it isn't a Wheaten we love ALL dogs! Post a photo!
Happy Friday

SCWTCA Inc. and SCWTCA Endowment Inc. is so proud of Dr. Shelly Vaden, honorary member of the SCWTCA for her dedication and contribution to the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. She began her work with Wheatens back in the day when we knew so little about Kidney disease. You can read more about her work in Wheatens here: https://scwtcaendowment.org/what-weve-learned-from-the-colony-dogs/

Congratulations Shelly, this is very well deserved and we and our Wheatens have greatly benefited from the knowledge and experiences that you have generously shared with us.
