The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of Australasia

What is the SCWTCA

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of Australasia represents breeders of true to type Irish style soft coated wheaten terriers throughout Australia and New Zealand. All breeders identified on the site commit to furthering the breed through the sensible use of healthy dogs to promote and further the breed for the generations to come.

The Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of Australasia incorporates the "Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Breed Club of NSW Incorporated", the only affiliated specialist breed club for Wheatens in Australia.

Australia has had a rocky time with wheatens over the past 25 or so years with health issues surfacing in some quarters as a result of poor breeding choices by some breeders. This site represents those responsible breeders have moved to those Irish lines which have a documented history of clear health.

And for those interested: "No, we are not involved in WHAP. WHAP is a small collective of vocal breeders who continue to breed from wheaten lines closely related to affected dogs and/or dogs that have produced affected dogs. Those involved with WHAP own and continue to breed dogs that have close relatives listed as producing or having hereditary disease on international health registers. The breeding lines of members of this collective (scwtca.org.au) have no historical record of hereditary disease. This can be demonstrated by the many health registers kept by wheaten breed clubs in the US, Sweden and the UK. This evidence can be provided as required".
