Past and Present: Welsh Terrier
The Welsh
Terrier may best and most briefly be described as a Wire-haired Fox
Terrier colored in general like an Airedale. This does not of course
cover the finer points, but gives a general impression of his looks.
He is in
every respect a true terrier, and closely resembles a diminutive
Airedale. His color is very strictly dictated by the standard; he
must have tan legs, belly, and head, with a black saddle, and black
on the forehead and all around the neck. This is sometimes replaced
by grizzled gray, but it is less typical and not as popular as the
pure Black and Tan. Black on legs or feet is very bad.
Being a
fine, sturdy, active and friendly little dog, the Welsh Terrier is
rapidly gaining popularity in this country, and the breed was
represented in the 1918 Westminster show by a large entry.
