Morphology
soft-coated + wheaten + terrier
The phrase is fully compositional: 'soft-coated' and 'wheaten' describe the quality and color of the coat and 'terrier' names the dog type, so the basic meaning (a terrier with a soft, wheat-coloured coat) is directly derivable from the parts. Specific breed details (origin, exact size, grooming) are not predictable, but an average B1 learner who knows the constituents will understand the overall referent.
Etymology
Soft-coated wheaten terrier gets its name from how the dog looks: soft-coated means it has soft fur, wheaten means its coat is the pale 'wheat' color, and terrier is a kind of small working dog, so the name describes its soft fur, wheat-like color, and terrier type.
