No one has mentioned a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. They are a medium size dog, about knee height. My mother has one and she is wonderful. They have excellent temperments, and are not high sturng at all. They are a fairly new breed introduced some time durring the seventies I believe (dont quote me on that). They have a lovely golden coat that vurtually needs no brushing. They do need to be shaved about once every three months or their coat gets very long and will need to be brushed. They do not shed AT ALL!
