| | Dog Owner's Guide Profile: The Welsh Terrier |
 | | In 1900 the Welsh Terrier Club of America was formed, and in 1901 the Welsh was given a separate classification for exhibition. |
 | | The Welsh is generally gay and even in disposition and afraid of nothing; he truly fulfills a traditional Welsh motto: Gwell Angau Na Cywilydd: "Better death than shame." His coat is double, with a wiry top layer and a woolly undercoat that must be hand-stripped, or plucked, for the show ring. |
 | | The Welsh Terrier is a basic terrier with basic needs: training and controlled "hunting" for mental stimulation, walks on a leash and play for physical exercise, normal veterinary care, a good diet to keep him at a healthy weight, and grooming to keep him handsome. |
