Welsh Terrier

The Welsh Terrier, also known as the Welshie, is a medium-sized terrier breed originally bred in the 1700s in Wales for hunting rodents, badgers, and foxes. The Welshie’s zest for life is contagious, and they always enjoy themselves to the fullest. Bred for hunting with self-determination and intelligence, the happy and lively Welshie rarely tires and desires to spend their days having fun!
