Welsh Terrier Dog Breed Information

Welsh Terriers make the perfect family companion – if you know what you’re doing! These feisty and friendly canines are an old breed of dog, making them resilient, healthy, and mostly purebred. But don’t rush out for one right away; their intelligence makes them a challenge.

Welshies were originally hunting dogs that were bred to run after small animals in the Welsh valleys and bark to tell hunting groups where the prey was hiding. That’s why these top dogs have so many hunting traits, including aggression, intelligence, barking, and energy to spare.

But don’t let that put you off if you’ve fallen in love with their curly coats and their bouncy personalities; with the right training and socialisation, a Welshie makes the perfect family pet and will stick around in your home longer than most family dogs. Read on to find out more.
