Bold
and spirited, the Welsh Terrier is similar to the Airedale Terrier and Lakeland
Terrier in appearance. A true terrier at heart, they are not as hot-headed
as some of the other terriers. They are affectionate dogs who have outgoing
natures making them ideal family pets. Welsh Terriers are reserved around
strangers, and make brave watchdogs. Welsh Terriers are a game, alert, aware,
and spirited breed. But at the same time, Welsh Terriers are friendly and
show self control. Welsh Terriers are intelligent and have a desire to please
which is evident in their attitude. Being of smaller size than their relatives
the Airedale Terriers, they are of good size with small drop ears and docked
tails. Welsh Terriers are sometimes referred to as "Welshies", and usually
have black and tan colorations. They have wiry, abundant fur that is hard
to the touch. With somewhat of a beard and a fringe on their legs, the Welshie
is an interesting looking breed with a curious personality.
