History
The Welsh Terrier is probably descended from the now extinct Old English Black and Tan Terrier (also called Old English Broken Haired Terrier) and the Fox Terrier. The breed was used in Wales working in packs to hunt fox, badger and otter, like other terriers and waterdogs. The breed was recognized by The Kennel Club in 1886 and its standard was fixed in 1947.
Description
This robust, hardy, rustic, tenacious, spirited breed has a strong, dominant personality. The Welsh Terrier forms a strong bond with his owners and is affectionate, playful and cheerful. Wary of strangers, though not aggressive, he makes a good guard dog. Firm training must start at young age.
Advice
The Welsh Terrier can adapt to life in the city provided he can go for long walks every day. Brushing once or twice per week is required. This breed should be professionally groomed two to four times per year.
