Monticello Wheaten Terriers

Monticello Wheaten Terriers, soft coated wheaten terriers in Ellensburg, Washington, breeds dogs for homes across Central Washington and Yakima.

Owned by breeder Tari Zentz, the kennel follows guidelines from national breed clubs with health screening for hips, eyes and autoimmune conditions. All litters are registered with the American Kennel Club, and pups receive regular veterinary checkups and parasite prevention. Pups are raised in a family home on a small homestead where they receive daily handling and early socialization.

The dogs live alongside older dogs and children to build confidence and gentle manners before joining their new families. A focus on temperament and wellness guides each litter, with clear health records provided to interested families. Years of experience with soft coated wheaten terriers help ensure puppies adapt well to companion or therapy roles. The kennel sits on the edge of Ellensburg near the Cascade foothills, giving puppies space to explore under careful supervision.
