“Ziggy”
Ralph x Harper
DOB 27th September 2021
Ziggy is a spectacular dog. His coat is extremely silky and soft. He moves out beautifully thanks to his powerful driving rear and his upstanding posture. He has a stunning big head inherited from his Dad Ralph. He is a living treasure.
His first litters were confident, happy, loving puppies; humorous and cheerful without a hint of reactivity or malice. We think Ziggy will be a great boost to the breed in Australia.

“Angus”
Angus is the goofy hero of our kennel. The son of our Specialty Winning import Captain, Angus won Best Exhibit In Show at the SCWT Club of Victoria breed specialty show. It was his third time ever in the show ring and he needed no prompting to bring his best for the judge. Even more charming was that his daughter Rosie was there to win Best Baby Puppy in Show right behind him – her first day ever in the ring. Angus has a signature slow-maturing American coat which is developing an amazing wave and shine. He is everything we love.

“Paddy”
Captain x Cookie
The firstborn Aussie son of Captain, we adore this boy who left us far too early. Paddy was the best mate of our dear friend Di and we are so grateful to him for the joy, the affection, and the blusterous good humor that he poured into our hearts by the bucketfull. Paddy produced one litter of wonderful puppies for us before we lost him to an accident. We have his DNA stored in liquid nitrogen and hope that one day down the track another preposterously positive boy will fill his pawprints.
Rollo is show ready and US Grand Champion and CH LuTra’s King Of Hearts. (IMP USA)
“Rollo”
DOB 5th November 2022
Currently the No.2 ranked Wheaten and the top male Wheaten Terrier in the USA for 2024, this beautiful stud dog is the whole package. Confident but a goofy lovebug, Rollo is everything we long for in the breed. His human centric nature and his undemanding demeanour make him a complete joy to have in the house. Rollo loves other dogs but never gets too crazy. He doesn’t pull on the lead on walks and is quite happy to sit down by your side either at home or at the park. We think he is a perfect fit for the style of Wheaten we love. Rollo is show-ready and we look forward to campaigning him just as soon as the cool days of Autumn arrive. We are expecting Rollo’s first babies mid January 2025.
US CH and AU CH Bradberry’s Houston We Have Lift Off. (IMP USA)
“Houston”
Imported from the USA
While all hell was breaking loose across the planet in the form of COVID 19, a dream was coming true for us and the Alinex team. This amazing boy and his sister were born in June 2019 and were lovingly raised by their amazing breeder Deb Van De Ven. Houston and Harper learned the ways of the chilled-out tribe of sweet, kind Wheatens for which Deb is famous. Their show careers were delayed but they got one magical weekend of shows before they left the USA and they thrilled us with their wins. Houston got his USA Championship with three back to back five point major wins in that one weekend. In December 2020 Houston and Harper finally got a place on a government-sponsored pet-repatriation flight to Melbourne. They got out of quarantine ten days later and quickly snuggled their way into our hearts. We feel so blessed to have them in our family.
BIS (BBE) US CH Tara I Get Around “Seamus”
(Frozen semen import from the USA)
Bred and owned by Cecily Skinner and co-owned with Celeste Lassiter Sokoloff, Seamus calls California home. His beautiful structure, temperament, and eye-catching coat are the result of several generations of Cecily’s highly awarded breeding. He has had extraordinary success as a show dog, and is an adored family companion with a steady, confident temperament. We are so grateful to Cecily for the opportunity to use Seamus as one of our AI sires. Seamus is the sire of our amazing girls Penny and Lilly. Both have been highly acclaimed by all breeds judges.

“Spudley”
Wickett x Jellybean
DOB 23rd May 2023
Spudley’s workability, fun, and high human focus come from both sides of his pedigree. He represents the slight size reduction we have been aiming for, and will preserve our sweet spot in terms of moderate energy level, low terrier, companionability, and suitability for suburban life. We are excited to start him as a sire in 2024. We love the combination of Spudley’s parents (Wickett x Jellybean) so much, we also kept two sisters, Pixie and Zoe. Three siblings from this breeding are in training or have passed their therapy dog assessments.
Alinex If You Close Your Eyes
“Wilfred”
Wickett x Jellybean
DOB 23rd May 2023
Wilfred is the full brother and littermate of Spudley (see above). Three of the dogs in this litter were therapy dogs or therapy dogs in training by 13 months of age and Wilfred clearly displays all the temperament strengths that are making these Wheatens famous. Wilfred is absolutely convinced his role in life is to be your best friend. He lives in Tasmania with an older wheaten and enjoys endless bush and beach walks and car drives and couch time. In fact, whatever his people are doing, he is happy. He loves other dogs almost as much as he loves people, but if he is busy playing off-lead, his Dad just has to mention his name and Wilfred will come running. We are so grateful Wilfred’s family offered to partner with us so that Wilfred could one of our Alinex stud dogs.
Alinex I Was Led To The River
“George”
DOB 20th April 2022
George has the dramatic good looks of his father Houston. In temperament he is very similar to the lovable and goofy Angus, bringing a sweet devotion to all his relationships.
George’s hopes of a show career were ruined from the beginning by that curly tail so he lives a wonderful life with a sweet family of six on a beautiful old farming property.
Whatever the day’s activity, George is happy with his people. Click here for some photos of him helping truck water around his family’s sheep and cattle station.
George is a moderate size boy with an adult weight of just under 15kgs. He is beautifully put together with an amazing short back, beautiful depth of chest and spring of rib.
He is “upstanding” and has the posture and movement of a spirited young stallion but has no terrier fire at all. He is love, devotion, and the goofiest sense of fun.
George’s coat is beautifully soft and a rich deep golden colour which he has inherited from his Dad Houston.
We are hoping to breed a showdog son and daughter of George (without the curly tail) and in the process expect he will sire some family pals as loving and goofy as he is.
US GR CH Saddlebrook’s It All Started With a Big Bang “Bazinga”
(Frozen semen import from the USA)
Bazinga is owned by Jinx Moore and lives with her in Missouri, USA. I had the absolute joy of spending a weekend with Bazinga in the USA and he is definitely a charming gentleman. He achieved Grand Champion status and is famous at home for his snuggly, stable temperament. He is closely down from several very significant Wheatens. We have only one go at getting puppies from this guy so we are being careful to breed exactly the right girl for him and making sure she is a great mum before we go for it, but the best things are worth waiting for.

“Patrick”
Ziggy x Flossie
DOB 2nd Nov 2022
Alinex Frame By Frame
“Ralph”
Murph x Penny
DOB 11th March 2020
Ralph and his littermates were born just as the COVID pandemic was changing life forever. My plan to show him vanished as Melbourne Vic got locked down for what felt like a very long time. Thankfully we found him the most wonderful family who wrapped their hearts around this precious boy. We have loved every moment of the journey with them.
US and Aust CH BISS Stratford Captain America Down Under. (IMP USA)
“Captain”
Imported from the USA
Captain was kindly raised for us by Molly O’Connell in Colorado. He was a wonderful performer in the showring and definitely took our life with Wheatens to the next level. Captain won a Victorian Breed Specialty show, becoming the second of our four breed specialty winners. He also produced specialty winners; son Angus followed in his footsteps and a daughter in Canada achieved the same. Captain is retired now and loves his couch time and watching movies as much as he ever loved the showring. Captain inspired us to do everything we possibly can to make sure poeple get an equable Wheaten pal with a heart of gold.

Alinex Wheatens generally love travelling in a car. They really deeply love it. Occasionally a puppy has a bit of car sickness which is most commonly caused by teething. We commit to not breeding from dogs that have carsickness so by and large our puppy families can...
