Introduction

Not as well-known as other Terrier breeds, the Welsh Terrier is currently a vulnerable breed. As happy, fun-loving, and even-tempered characters, they make excellent family pets, but prefer not to share a home with other dogs.

History

The Welsh Terrier’s ancestry is linked to the similar in appearance Lakeland Terrier, and it’s believed to be the oldest of the UK’s Terrier breeds. According to one theory, Celts took Welsh Terrier-type dogs with them to the Lake District when Roman’s invaded their home lands, but the exact origins of the breed are unknown. Originally bred to hunt vermin, they remained accomplished ratters over the centuries and were also brave enough to take on badgers and foxes.

Personality

Intelligent and affectionate, the Welsh Terrier forms strong bonds with its people. They thrive on being involved in family life and like to be kept busy with a role to play in everything that’s going on. Confident and outgoing, the breed’s heritage means they will bravely stand their ground when they feel threatened, and for this reason they prefer to be the only dog in a household.

Health Issues Welsh Terriers are generally a healthy and robust breed. Daily exercise and good quality nutrition should keep them well.
Care Tips Welsh Terriers are relatively high maintenance in terms of grooming, and they like to be kept busy. Grooming: daily brushing is needed to help remove loose hairs, and hand-stripping is needed two or three times each year. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: this high-energy breed needs a minimum of one hour of exercise split into two walks daily, ideally with more time off the lead to run, play, and let off steam. An under-exercised or bored Welsh Terrier will find creative and destructive ways to entertain itself.
