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 Pomeranian
Tiny, fox‑like Spitz with a fluffy double coat in many colors. Weighing 2–3.5 kg, Pomeranians are lively, alert, people‑focused companions and good watchdogs. They need regular grooming, gentle positive training, daily walks, mental games, dental care and protection of their small joints.
