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 Kerry Blue Terrier
Medium, athletic Irish terrier with a proud outline and curly blue coat that matures from black. Lively, intelligent, and strongly bonded to family, it needs daily mental and physical exercise. Low‑shedding but high‑grooming, with bold, watchful, sometimes dog‑assertive temperament.
