He gives the appearance of a hardy, active terrier, neither leggy nor too low to the ground. The Wheaten is an even-tempered, intelligent, friendly dog. He is spirited and game, willing to defend but not aggressive. He does not exhibit the sharpness of temperament that is sought in some of the other terrier breeds. The well-balanced, long head is rectangular in appearance. It is powerful, with no suggestion of coarseness, and in proportion to the body.
The skull and foreface are equal in length. The stop is defined. The strong, powerful muzzle is well-filled-in below the eyes; the cheekbones are not prominent. The lips are tight and black. There is no suggestion of snipiness. Medium in size, set well apart and not prominent. Dark brown or hazel in color.
Expression is alert and self-confident. Ears are small to medium in size. They break level with the skull, dropping slightly forward.
The inside edge of the ear lies next to the cheek, pointing to the ground rather than to the eye. Thank you! Your submission has been received! German Shepherd. DWG FT. DWG M. Shiba Inu.
