Southern Counties. Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers

I think this breed continues to improve and become more uniform in type. Movement is so much better than it was years ago, very few cross at either end, let alone both. Heads were all quite good in this entry too, or maybe exhibitors know what I like. Good to see very little exaggeration, this is a moderate breed.
