I live in Southeastern PA and I'm trying to locate a Wheaten Terrier
breeder where the parents of the puppies are onsite. Willing to drive
to NY, NJ, DE, or MD. Thank you.

I suggest that you go to www.akc.org and search for Soft Coated Wheaten
Terriers. There will be a link there directing you to their national club.
And very likely also to breeder and rescue links. There may be local clubs
within your driving distance that you can contact for information.

I suggest also that you read www.dog-play.com to learn just what sort of
questions you need to ask a responsible breeder - and what questions to
expect from them. I'm sure that you want your new family member to be as
healthy and free of genetic problems as possible. You need to know how to
recognize a responsible breeder - and how to recognize those who are not.

For instance, it may not be a good thing to have both parents on site. This
indicates quite often that the breeder was not as concerned about creating
the best possible litter and genetics as in the handiness of the dogs and
their reproductive parts. Not always true, of course. There are many
responsible breeders who DO happen to own (and have on site) both parents.
For some of their litters. But it's a topic that should be discussed in
terms of why the breeder made that choice.
