Bronze Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Sculpture

The Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier is a breed of dog originating in Ireland. There are four coat varieties: Traditional Irish, Heavy Irish, English, and American. These dogs have a single coat which sheds very little hair, so they can be more easily tolerated by people allergic to other breeds.

Mike, please advise as to which shoulder your like best.

Once this phase is approved, I will detach the head and begin to create the coat hair throughout the entire body. Once the body and head are somewhat done, we will play around with the cocking of the head. If you already have a preference as to the direction of the head tilt. Let me know, this way I can have the beard slightly point into that direction (I need to pay attention to our law of gravity).

Mike, in conclusion if you have a higher resolution image(s) showing his coat pattern, please email; otherwise, I will use the images I have. Looking for sharp images. The last image in his show stance, was somewhat blurry. I other words, I could not make out some of the hair line patterns. Now if the three images used on the header of this page display the correct hair patter, let me know and I will use them as my studies. The only concern is that the images used at the time did not have the full show coat.

Clay dog sculpture of a soft coated wheaten terrier




This is the 3-4 coat of the clay brush up. The clay sculpture will undergo an additional two coats. The left rear leg does not look right; therefore, I will add more clay to the outer side of the leg in order to match the right rear leg. 

Once the over all confirmation is correct the intermediate detail will begin.
