Drake - S'Wheat Rescues
Wheatens go through many color changes in their first year of life. They are born a dark brown or red color with black masks and ears. Puppies are the most mislabeled as they look nothing like the adult of the breed. In the first year of life Wheatens go through a dramatic change in color. They go from the dark coloring of birth to sometimes a nearly white color. As they age the color ripens and deepens and they usually reach thier adult coloration by two years of age.
The Wheaten standard is for a height between 17 – 19″ at the withers and between 30 – 40 lbs. in weight with the female being at the lower end of the scale. This will, of course, not hold true with the Wheatables as their size will be affected by whatever breed they are mixed with. Purebred Wheatens generally have docked tails but not always. Wheatens have large black noses and deep brown eyes.
