History of the breed

the   Welsh terrier   is, as its name suggests, originally from Wales . The breed was first developed for fox, badger, hare and otter hunting. It has the same origins as the Lakeland Terrier . The Welsh Terrier was presented for the first time in a dog show in the late eighteenth century.

The Welsh Terrier breed was recognized by the British Kennel Club in 1886, then definitively by the FCI (Fédération Cynologique Internationale) on October 23, 1954. Its official FCI standard in force was published on October 13, 2010.

Education

Clever
Obedient

The education of the Welsh Terrier does not involve any particular constraint, given its docility and the will it shows when it comes to work and learn. The methods of positive reinforcement , relying on encouragement and rewards, make it possible to educate the Welsh Terrier in the best conditions. It is also important to socialize it from an early age .

Living conditions

the   Welsh Terrier prefers wide open spaces and proximity to nature over cramped living environments, but can adapt to an urban setting if walked around enough. It is suitable for active masters, willing to take it for a walk and often stimulate it. It is not suitable for families who own rodents as pets, as it may have retained some of its burrowing instincts and therefore began to pursue them.

Ease of grooming

the   Welsh Terrier remains subject to an almost permanent molt, with continuous hair loss, but not significant. Its maintenance is not particularly restrictive and must be carried out on a regular basis.

It is recommended to brush the dog 2-3 times a week to get rid of dead hair and debris. He does not need frequent baths; a bath every 3 or 4 months , with a mild shampoo suitable for dogs.

Her teeth need to be brushed regularly to eliminate tartar build-up and the proliferation of bacteria. Finally, if they do not wear out naturally, its claws need to be cut. If you are new to this, it is recommended that you seek advice from a veterinarian or groomer.
