Welsh Terrier Hund

The Welsh Terrier is a little calmer than other terriers. Some are very combative with other animals and some are not quarrelsome at all. It may be difficult to housebreak, especially bitches. It likes to swim and some like to dig. This dog needs a firm, consistent, but gentle hand. Early obedience training is important. Give this dog constant variety in its training. The Welsh Terrier is untiring, it is always ready to play with a ball and to run and gambol off the leash in the open countryside.

This breed likes to chase after things, so don’t let it off the lead except in an enclosed area, unless the dog is very well trained.

Gesundheitsprobleme

Generally healthy. Some lines are prone to skin and eye problems, any symptoms should be reported to a vet immediately. To minimize the risk of your Welsh Terrier developing any hereditary health issues, you should buy a puppy from a reputable breeder.

Lebensumfeld

City and country life are both suitable for a Welsh Terrier. Country life gives it a chance to show its natural expertise for ground skills but it is quite contented with daily walks and playtime afforded by city life. This breed is a den animal making it the perfect student for crate training. The crate will provide it with a small space of its own. Leaving the dog on its own when the owners have to be out for the day would not be a problem. However, the Welsh Terrier likes to dig holes and have been known to climb or jump fences. It is best to provide a suitably fenced yard and additional wire fencing at least 6 inches below ground level.
