The Welsh Terrier is a small to medium-sized breed of dog that is known for its intelligence, athleticism, and high energy level. These dogs were originally bred in Wales to hunt small game and vermin, and they are known for their strong prey drive and keen hunting instincts. Welsh Terriers are known for their sturdy, compact build and wiry, weather-resistant coat, which is typically black and tan in colour.

Welsh Terriers are intelligent and easily trained, but they can be stubborn and may require consistent, patient training and socialization to become well-behaved pets. They are generally good with children and other pets, but they may be reserved with strangers and may be protective of their families and territory. They need regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy, and they are known to be energetic and playful.

Welsh Terriers are generally easy to groom, with a wiry, weather-resistant coat that requires regular grooming to maintain its texture and prevent tangles and matting. They are known to shed minimally, making them a good choice for people with allergies. Welsh Terriers are generally healthy and long-lived, with a lifespan of 12-15 years. They can be prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia and other joint problems, as well as certain eye conditions, so it’s important to work with a reputable breeder and keep up with regular vet check-ups. With proper care and training, the Welsh Terrier can make a loving and loyal companion for the right family.

Welsh Terriers are recognized by major kennel clubs, including the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC).
