Summary
About Welsh Terrier
Medium-sized, sturdy Welsh terrier with a wiry black-and-tan coat that sheds little but needs regular stripping. Bred in Wales to hunt, it is active, bold, affectionate yet independent, with strong chase instincts. Intelligent and trainable, it thrives on firm, positive guidance and daily exercise.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
