St. Patrick's Day!

Here is a picture of me (Josey) getting ready for St. Patrick's day, which is our favorite holiday!! Normally I drink Irish Cream Latte's at the store, but not today! Here is some info on why this day means so much to Aggie and I:

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier is a medium size terrier with a soft, slightly wavy coat that's the color of wheat. The breed originated over 200 years ago in Southern Ireland as an all purpose working and farm dog. The hardy terriers were used to guard home and family, to herd sheep and cattle, to kill rodents and other vermin, and to hunt small game.

In addition to it's Irish roots, the Wheaten has a unique connection to St. Patrick's Day. On in March 17, 1937, a Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier made it's first appearance in the show ring at The Irish Kennel Club Championship Show. Another milestone in the history of the Soft Coated Wheaten occurred on St. Patrick's Day in 1962, with the founding of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of America.
