The Welsh terrier is a breed of dog that looks like a miniature Airedale terrier. As the name suggests, it is native to Wales in the United Kingdom. It is affectionately known to passionate dog-lovers as the Welshie. It is suited to hunting foxes, birds and badgers, and its loyalty to man makes it an ideal pet.
It has existed since the early 19th century, and is believed to be a descendant of the Old English Black and Tan terrier, a breed of terrier that existed in England in the 13th century. The Welsh terrier, or the Welshie, is a registered breed under the Kennel Club. The breed has been recognised since 1886, but it was not until the turn of the 19th century (and the beginning of the 20th century) that it was known as the Welsh terrier. It was previously known as the Old English terrier and the Black and Tan Rough-haired terrier. It is now a more popular breed (in terms of households that have it as a pet) that the Airedale terrier and the fox terrier.
