Meet Reilly, my first Wheaten.  I bought Reilly from an ad in the
newspaper.  I didn't realize this was not the way to go about getting a
Wheaten!

Reilly came from a huge puppy mill in Iowa.  He was sent to a "broker"
in Virginia who then sold the puppies through an ad in the newspaper.

Reilly had health problems from the day I brought him home - food
allergies, skin allergies, ear infections and protein-loss through the
intestinal tract.  

Reilly's vet bills kept piling up trying to find   relief to the allergies and
intestinal problems.  Throughout it all, Reilly was a trooper.

Once I realized that Reilly came from a puppy mill I became a foster
home for Wheatens In Need.  In as little as three years time, I fostered
13 Wheatens that were turned over to Wheatens In Need.  Each one of
these dogs had been purchased at a pet store.  The people who
bought the Wheatens had no idea that cute little fluffy puppy was
going to grow up to be a high-energy, time-consuming dog who many
times had health problems.

I lost Reilly to a brain tumor in December, 2005.  He was and will
always be my heart dog.  He taught me that there is a way to buy a
dog - from a Reputable Hobby Breeder.

Because I was so enamored with
Wheatens I had to have another!  
This time I decided to acquire a
Wheaten from a reputable hobby
breeder.  The best way to do this
is to attend dog shows in your
area.  You can find a list of
upcoming dog shows by going
