Answer
Originated in Ireland; known for cheerful, playful, and affectionate nature
The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, the second contributing breed to the Whoodle, has a specific heritage and known disposition. The text indicates that Wheatens trace their origin back to Ireland. Temperamentally, they are characterized by a generally positive disposition, often described as cheerful, playful, and affectionate. This inherent exuberance is a key element breeders aim to introduce into the Whoodle, balancing the high intelligence of the Poodle with a lively, engaging personality, although this same lineage can introduce a measure of terrier stubbornness.
