One of the great characteristics of a Wheaten is that it doesn’t shed hair and its coat is hypoallergenic. The flipside of this is that your Wheaten’s coat will need to be cut and combed regularly. I thought about this very carefully before I chose my fur baby, and I was committed to spending time looking after her coat. In actual fact, it’s not that bad at all. It’s a great way to bond with my doggy friend, and I would rather spend the time paying attention to her than trying to vacuum up dog hairs off the carpet and furniture.
It’s worth investing in some good tools to groom your Wheaten. I have a good sized brush, a metal comb with a strong wooden handle, and a slicker brush. I also have some pet grooming scissors with rounded ends, an apron, (if you don’t wear an apron you will be wearing your dog’s hair!) a grooming table (really makes your dog easy to handle and makes grooming quicker and easier. And if your Wheaten is anything as agile as my one, she will have no difficulty in jumping up onto the table.) and a trimmer. I recommend this good quality trimmer You can find cheaper ones but they are not sturdy, they can’t get through the thick coat of a Wheaten, and they can be noisy (read scary), and get over heated.
I did take Merry Heart to a groomer for a haircut once, but she was a sorry sight when she came home, so I thought I would give it a try myself. I cut her once and that was it! I have never taken her back to a groomer. And I have never seen a Wheaten looking better groomed than Merry Heart, or one whose cut was so nice that I wanted to know the name of the groomer. I must add that I have been asked several times who Merry Heart’s groomer is and I have been asked if I take orders, which is gratifying.
