    I wanted one of Cyndi’s puppies because of her commitment to breeding healthy, balanced wheaten terriers. Her credentials are amazing! I brought Rooney home in November and Cyndi has been in contact regularly… to share tips about everything from growth and development to vaccination/preventative protocols to food recalls. Her dedication to the breed and maintaining relationships with her owners and the puppies is beyond compare.

    Cyndi was incredibly helpful before we brought Luna home and has been an invaluable resource ever since. Our vet tells us what a healthy puppy Luna is. She is spunky, sweet and very smart. We are so happy to have her as part of our family!

    Exeter Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers was wonderful to deal with and provided excellent resources before and after we got our puppy. We love our now almost 6 month old puppy, Finley, very much!!

    Cyndi was great to work with as we adopted our Kirby but she has been amazing over the recent months as a resource for information on Wheatens in general but also Kirby's parents and her siblings. I have loved to see her sisters and compare stories and photos. We are so, so happy with our little girl!!
