Wheaten Terrier Dog - Jigsaw Puzzle

I gave this to my mum who breeds Wheatens – she nearly cried! Said it looked like her champion pup from 2003. High praise. Puzzle quality? Solid as a sheep station gate.

Honestly didn’t expect to get emotionally invested in a jigsaw, but here we are. My partner walked in and said, ‘Is that *our* dog?’ Nope, just a puzzle with superior bone structure and more charisma. Highly recommend.

As someone who usually gives up on puzzles by piece 47, I was shocked to complete this. It’s oddly therapeutic. Now eyeing the border collie version… resistance is futile.

Māori proverb: He aha te mea nui o te ao? He kuri, he whānau, he pūrākau. (What is the most important thing in the world? A dog, family, stories.) This puzzle brought all three together. Whānau teamwork level: expert.

This puzzle has better hair than 90% of Auckland. No joke – sat my coffee down, leaned back, and admired it like art. Because it is. 5 stars for fluff excellence.

Got this for my niece’s birthday. She finished it faster than I can boil a kettle! The joy on her face was priceless. And yes, we named every piece after family members. Very scientific.

I bought two – one to do and one to keep sealed because opening it felt like breaking a sacred seal. The artwork captures that classic Wheaten fluff perfectly. 10/10 would procrastinate again.

Assembled this puzzle during a rainy weekend in Dunedin – now I'm convinced my Wheaten Terrier has better cheekbones than me. The pieces are thick and snap together like they've been training for this their whole life. Bonus: my dog showed zero interest, so no competition.

Puzzle game strong! Even got the kids off their screens for once. The image is adorable and the cut is satisfyingly chunky. Finished it in one sitting with a flat white and a scone.

Spent a quiet night in Queenstown with wine and this puzzle. Felt like a full mindfulness session. Also, zero missing pieces – that’s basically a miracle.
