To choose only three reasons for considering a Welsh Terrier as your next pet is a bit of a challenge. However, let me tell you what stands out to me most.

First, the Welsh Terrier is a hearty breed. He is so rugged that he resists disease. You are not ‘just lucky’ to raise him—you can expect to do so.

Second, He is an oudoor and indoor dog. He will romp. hunt or play and he will be a gentleman when it is expected of him. Incidentally, his hard coat will not give you the bothersome shedding problem. You see, you trim his coat to acquire the snappy appearance. So in the field or on the street, his coat ‘can take it.’

Third, His love and devotion to his people is intense, Yet he will not ‘flounder’ all over strangers. He would rather make his friends with his family’s approval. But think him no sissy! His courage is to be outdone by none when courage is called for. It is small wonder that the people of Wales centuries ago were so satisfied with their breed of dog.
