The Welsh Terrier is a breed of dog, one of many terrier breeds. It is suited for hunting fox, birds, and badgers and for being kept as a pet. The Welsh Terrier originates from Wales and has existed since the 1800s. Its origins lie in the Old English Black and Tan terrier that existed in England as early as the 13th century. It also existed in Wales and it was that sort that finally was registered by The Kennel Club under the name Welsh Terrier. Until 1900, it was called the “Old English Terrier” or “Black and Tan Rough Haired Terrier”. The breed has been recognised since 1886 and is more common than the Airedale Terrier or the Fox Terrier. read full article…

The tail is generally docked and the dew claws are usually removed. read full article…
