The book "The Softcoated Wheaten Terrier" is written by Mrs. Maureen Holmes as a follow-up and elaboration of her first book (The Wheaten Years) which was out-dated.

"The Softcoated Wheaten Terrier" is a handbook that provides amongst others :

a historical background of the Breed, the people involved and the progression of the Breed in various countries since the official recognition by The Irish Kennel Club in August 1937.

It contains amongst others a scheme on trimming an Irish Softcoated Wheaten Terrier.

 

 

Mrs. Maureen Holmes received her first Wheaten in 1932. Together with Dr. Pierse, from whom she obtained Silver Wheat which became the foundation bitch of her "Holmenocks" kennel, Maureen worked on the promotion and recognition of the breed, both in Ireland and abroad.

Apart from Wheatens, Mrs. Holmes has successfully bred : Salukis, Finnish Spitz, Miniature Poodles, Wire Fox Terriers, West Highland Whites and Yorkshire Terriers.

In 1949 Mrs Holmes started her judging career.

For more than 40 years she was breed represen-tative to the Irish Kennel Club. She acted as President, Chairman, Hon. Treasurer and Hon. Secretary of various Clubs at home and abroad. She was a Honorary Life Member of the Irish Kennel Club. Mrs. Holmes died in May 1996.
