Welcome to the SCWTC of GB

The official web site of the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of Great Britain

The Soft-Coated Wheaten TerrierEstablished in 1955, The Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of GB was registered by the Kennel Club in January 1957 and is the national Wheaten Breed club for Great Britain. Whilst the Club has expanded and adapted to meet the needs of today, the original purpose of the Club at registration remains unchanged. That is to maintain and protect the breed type according to the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier Breed Standard approved by the Kennel Club; to promote sensible breeding of the Soft-Coated Wheaten with regard to type, soundness and temperament; safeguard the health of the breed by all possible means; to provide assistance to breeders and new owners; to provide information to prospective owners on breed characteristics; to keep members regularly informed of the points of interest concerning the breed and progress of the Club and to advance the interests of the breed by supporting shows and by educating judges. And last, but not least, to promote the interests of the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier by any other means.

We hope you enjoy your visit to our site and pictures of our Wheatens and in the process, discover more about our lovely breed.

pANCA Project Update - July 2009

The RVC has said that results of the 2nd round of testing held in January will be sent to participants this month. Staff illness has delayed completion of the analyses.

If your Wheaten has taken part in the first two rounds of the retesting for this on-going pANCA Research Project, you will received a letter from the RVC inviting you to attend the next round of sampling sessions. These will be on:

Saturday 19 September
at Saint Michael's Hall, Lechlade Road, Highworth, Wiltshire, SN6 7AG

Saturday 26 September
at The Village Hall, West Street, Weedon Bec, Northamptonshire, NN7 4PQ

Please remember that dogs should not have eaten for at least 6 hours prior to the test taking place although water should be available.

If you can attend one of these testing sessions please contact either:
Sandra Jeffries: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it   or
Judy Creswick: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

If you are unable to attend any of these sessions but would like to continue to participate in the project, please contact the RVC, Clinical Investigations Centre, 01707 666 605 or 10707 666 223, or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . They will send a pack to you with information for your veterinarian on how to collect and post the blood samples to the RVC pANCA Team. We would urge all those who have participated in the retesting to date to continue. It is vital to the project to continue to test sufficient numbers of Wheatens for the results to be statistically valid.

 


 

Announcement of the Terrier Breeds of Ireland Open Show 2010

The Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of Great Britain will be celebrating its 55th Anniversary in 2010.

To mark the occasion the Club has been given special permission from the Kennel Club to host a special show 'The Terrier Breeds of Ireland Open Show' at the Kennel Club Building, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire on Sunday April 18th. This show will replace the SCWTC of GB Open Show South.

There will be classes for Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers, Kerry Blue Terriers, Glen of Imaal Terriers and Irish Terriers. Each breed will be judged in separate rings with a different judge for each breed. The YKC have kindly granted permission for Crufts Handling Qualifiers to be held and there will be a number of Special Stakes Classes. Best in Show will be judged by the President of the Irish Kennel Club, Sean Delmar.

The Native Dog Breeds Trust will be in attendance, with a special educational display and presentations throughout the day.

The show has already attracted support from the National Terrier Club who have kindly donated a special trophy for Best in Show and Royal Canin who have offered to provide a very generous level of sponsorship for the show. The photographer Alan Walker will be in attendance and the show will be featured in Our Dogs, who are also sponsoring the show.

It will be the first time such a show has been held and it will be an exciting part of the SCWTC of GB 55th Anniversary celebrations.

The schedule will be available through this web site in due course.
