Welsh Terrier Breed Profile
The Welsh Terrier dog breed is of the AKC Terrier Group. This small, rugged, non-shedding terrier is a happy, energetic, and loving dog that loves to play. They do well with active families with children and are very adaptable to different living conditions. Due to their curious personality, it is wise to keep these terriers (as most terrier breeds) on leash when outdoors in unfenced areas. Welsh Terriers are also known to be acceptional in agility trials.

History: Welsh Terriers have an
origin from Wales around 1450 and were originally developed to hunt
otter, fox, and badgers. First shown in England in 1884 and first
imported to the United States in 1888. Although Welsh Terriers look
like the Wire Fox Terrier, the Lakeland Terrier, and the Airdale
Terrier, canine historians refer to the Welsh as Britain's first
terrier. Today's Welsh Terrier is still recognized for its hunting
abilities and does well with agility.
