Archived SCWTCA Matches and National Specialties

1973 and excitement abounded in the Wheaten Terrier community. A supported entry at the largest Terrier show in the world and SCWTCA would just need four successful matches to be considered an AKC member club and eligible to hold our first National Specialty. After years of working our way through miscellaneous, the excitement was palpable.

We were over the moon with anticipation and made plans to fulfill that requirement within the two years with ample time to apply for a National specialty by 1975.

The four matches were videotaped. Catalog information and videos are available for you to view. You can judge the dogs and determine if anecdotes you have been told about them are true.
