Looking for a Wheaten!
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A SOFT COATED WHEATEN TERRIER TO JOIN YOUR FAMILY?
You have come to the right place……………………………
If you are looking for a puppy, we recommend that you visit our National club’s website at
www.scwtca.org to research information about the breed’s health issues, temperament, grooming
needs, etc. If you are still interested in a puppy, please contact our club’s Breeder Liaisons, Sandra and
Glenn Amorosia at:
- Glenn Amorosia (gamorosia1@gmail.com)
- Sandra Amorosia (samorosia1@gmail.com)
Leave your email address as well as your phone number so they can respond to you as soon as possible.
If you are interested in getting a rescue SCWT, we collaborate with National Wheaten Rescue, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by Nancy Butler, President, with a mission specific to rescuing Wheatens. Their website, https://nationalwheatenrescueinc.org is a great place to get information about the adoption process and includes, on the Adopt page – https://nationalwheatenrescueinc.org/adopt – links to both an adoption application that can be filled out right from that website and to the forms that will be used through the adoption process.
If you have a SCWT to relinquish to rescue, first we ask that you contact your breeder. If they offer no help in this matter, National Wheaten Rescue, Inc.’s Surrender page, https://nationalwheatenrescueinc.org/rescue-surrender, will guide you through the process to let their Wheaten experts find your dog the right new home.
The Greater Denver Soft Coated Wheaten Club is no longer offering its own rescue program.

ATTRIBUTES OF A RESPONSIBLE BREEDER
Good luck with your search to find a new family member! The best place to purchase a quality puppy or dog is from a responsible breeder. A responsible breeder is one whose goal is to continuously improve the breed through a thoughtful breeding program that strives to produce quality puppies that are healthy, happy, and as free from genetic defects as possible.
Breeders that are members of our local and national clubs are bound by a code of ethics as part of their membership. These cover General Conduct; Breeding; Placing of Puppies and the Showing of Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers.
We recommend that you find a breeder in your area, so you can get to know your breeder and interact with the puppies from birth until the time they are ready to go to your home. Your breeder will become a valued resource both before and after your puppy goes to your home. Close proximity can be a real plus.
As you prepare for your puppy search, there is helpful information in the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of America’s “Buyer’s Guide.” This can be accessed using http://www.scwtca.org/buyer/index.htm. For Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier breeder contact information, use the link provided http://www.scwtca.org/breeders.php to access breeders across the US and Canada. Merely choose the state you wish, and press “find.”
The Greater Denver Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier club, Inc. has qualified breeders as members in good standing. These breeders are listed in the national breeders list using the link noted above. You can also contact Sandy and Glenn Amorosia, (samorosia1@gmail.com, gamorosia1@gmail.com ), our Breeder Liaisons, for puppy assistance from those breeders who are local club members and who may not choose to be on the national club’s breeders list.
NOTE: The Greater Denver Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier Club does not endorse any particular breeder or litter. It is up to any individual buyer to do their own due diligence when purchasing a puppy.
