What is the difference between Irish and American soft-coated wheaten terrier?

There is no distinction between "Irish" and "American" Soft-coated Wheaten Terriers. The breed is simply known as the Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier, and there is only one standard recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Kennel Club (UK).

The breed originated in Ireland, but it's been popularized worldwide and there's no separate lineage or breed standard for a specific "American" version.

Some people might use the term "Irish" in their name or description, but it's simply a way of emphasizing the breed's origin, not a separate breed classification.

Here's what to remember:

* There's only one breed: Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier.

* The breed standard is the same worldwide.

* "Irish" is simply a reference to the origin, not a separate breed.
