Ceilidh the Wheaten lives in Dartmouth with Janet Dyson (Alumni and Donor Relations Officer, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences) and Ryan McNutt (Associate Director, Communications, Communications, Marketing, and Creative Services).

(Find information on how to submit your own pet's profile at the bottom of this profile.)

Name: Ceilidh was born in Cape Breton and is an Irish breed, so we wanted something Gaelic for his name. We both love music, so Ceilidh seemed very appropriate.

Nickname: Buddy, darling, and other endearments. His official Canadian Kennel Club name is Keigans WeHaveToKeepOurIrishNames, for any Canadian Heritage Minute fans out there.

Species/breed: Ceilidh is a soft-coated wheaten terrier

Age: 15 weeks

Fave food: Tiny pieces of marble cheese

Special tricks: Ceilidh is doing very well with Sit, Down, Bed and Come . . . when he chooses to listen!

Best quality: He’s very soft and snuggly when his puppy energy winds down. His favourite place to burn off energy is the park down the street.

Social media platform or handle, if available: On Instagram @ceilidhthewheaten
