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 Saluki
The Saluki is an ancient, elegant sighthound known for speed, endurance, and a calm, sensitive nature. Gentle yet independent, it needs kind training, secure space to sprint, moderate grooming for its fine coat, and careful handling of strong chase and prey instincts.
