Emily H.

Breeder of Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm Emily H., the breeder behind Amaden located in Dauphin County, PA. Amaden is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. I have been a representative for the breed for 50 years and am often referred to as one of the "founders" for the breed as we know it! I am a preservation breeder striving for quality, health, and to ensure the future of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier for generations to come.

Q. & A. with Emily

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As a long-time representative and preservation breeder for the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, I strive to maintain the unique characteristics of these dogs and understand the important role that breeders undertake as guardians for the future of the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same.
  • What makes your program special?

    I have decades of experience with this breed! My program is committed to only breeding dogs that meet the strict guidelines for quality that we have deemed appropriate to improving these wonderful dogs. I am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. My dogs are fully healthy and CHIC certified in canine health. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to adopt one of these wonderful dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are wheaten. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
