Baxter is a full bred soft coat wheaten terrier ... they are born with dark hair but as they grow, it slowly becomes lighter, like an oatmeal color. :) Here are his parents, and what Baxter will look like as he gets older:

Congrats!!! How cute:)
 
He's beautiful. What kind of disposition do these dogs have? I'm always on the lookout for a quiet but loving dog.

I'm former owner of a retired greyhound -- sweet, quiet (I have a really issue with yapping) and lazy. He was a doll. If I'm ever a dog companion again, I'd really like one that understood coming when you call them. . .not a strong greyhound trait.
 
Ahhhh..... too cute!
 
He looks like Baylor in the morning, LOL! Very cute!!
