Wheaten is one of the standard AKC-recognized colors of this breed. A wheaten Cairn terrier mostly has a pale yellow or tan-colored coat that could deepen with age, acquiring a golden or dark red shade. The prominent breed clubs even recognize other shades of wheaten as a part of the Cairn terrier’s standard colors, like red wheaten and wheaten brindle.
Red Wheaten
The red wheaten Cairns has a rich reddish pattern against their yellowish coat.
Wheaten Brindle
The black stripes on a golden-yellow coat lead to the wheat brindle coat.
