Welcome to Erinisle Reg'd Wheatens

Erinisle is located in the heart of the Kawarthas in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada. We started out in Wheatens some 15 years ago when we purchased our first Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier from Penny Downey of Bresail's Reg'd Wheatens. We had our wonderful girl, Bresail's Nifty Niffer CDX CGC St. John's Therapy dog, for 13 years. She excelled at obedience and obtained the obedience title of #1 Soft Coated Wheaten in Canada in 1995. With the failing health of our beloved Nifty Niffer, we knew that we couldn't live without this outstanding breed.

In 2002, Bill and Janice Cunningham of Waverleyglen Reg'd Wheatens produced the most amazing, wonderful, healthy girl with a sound temperament, Waverleyglen's Ema O Torramhoir: we are grateful that they entrusted us with this amazing girl. By the age of 10 months Ema finished her Canadian championship, obtaining a Group 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th, plus Best Puppy in Group and Multiple Best of Breed. We were excited and privileged to have such a fine, healthy, happy girl and we knew this generation must go on. And so with this special girl we began "Erinisle Wheatens".

Erinisle Reg'd Wheatens is a very small family run kennel. Our puppies are home raised with our family. They are given lots of attention and tender loving care.

Our Wheatens obtain healthy clearances (i.e. hips, eyes, PLN, and PLE) before they are bred. Our puppies are sold with written guarantees. All puppies are microchiped and CKC registered. We breed mainly for pets, but do show and obedience as well.

We have a canine training school (Kawartha Canine Dog Training in Lindsay, Ontario), so as an obedience instructor, I will encourage all our puppy people to get involved with their local dog training center early. We feel that all terriers are rambunctious and very curious, but can and do excel at obedience and agility when training starts at an early age.

We are members of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Association of Canada, the Canadian Professional Pet Dog Training Association, and the Canadian Kennel Club. We are also members of the Open Registry and the SCWTCA.
