More about Megan
Why Megan started breeding
After losing two of our Wheaten Terriers very young, we were determined to ensure that other families would not experience the same heartbreaking losses we did. This is when Legacy Wheatens was born. We breed for great health but also to honor our two Wheatens who have passed. Legacy Wheatens was created in loving memory of our pups Frankie and Lucy.
