Welsh Terriers originated in North Wales in the 1760s. This lively and stubborn terrier thrives on mental and physical activity. The Welsh Terrier is a compact dog, suitable as a companion but still exceedingly effective as a rural vermin catcher.

The Welsh Terrier is a consummate terrier�"a terrier in a nutshell�"with a typical terrier temper.In the right hands, it is a happy, lively, and seldom shy or timid dog. Dogs of this breed can be devoted friends and can function either as city dogs or as country dogs. Welshies typically exhibit a hunting instinct: they chase anything that moves: dry leaves, animals, anything.

Welshies were developed to hunt independently and this required that they be very assertive and stoic dogs. As a consequence, developing obedience in a Welshie is a long term proposition and one has to convince the dog that the owner is the alpha male. Application of physical force should be done only in the extreme situations as Welshie, like most terriers, will not back down and can fight back. A quiet but persistent approach to ensure that Welshie completes the command, in the end will establish who is in control.

A Welsh Terrier is full of energy and it hardly ever becomes tired. Letting a Welsh Terrier have a run around the yard chasing something allows it to 'vent some steam' and be quieter in the house. The Welsh Terrier is a true comrade for the one who likes open-air activities. It is friendly with people and other dogs. It is not eager to fight, although it will hold its own when necessary.

The Welshie is a very smart dog. Couple this with typical terrier persistence, and you have a dog that can come up with solution for any problem that stands in his way to make mischief. In other words, the Welsh Terrier needs a lot of intellectual stimulation to stay agreeable. A small yard walk a day, without any other activities, is not enough. These dogs need interesting things to do each day. Leaving the Welsh Terrier alone in the yard will make it bored and it will amuse itself by digging under the fence, digging out plants, hunting mice, or even scaling the fence.

Welsh Terriers get along well with children; they love to play and to follow a child as it plays.
