Behavior

In most cases, Welsh Terriers are energetic and lively dogs. They are inclined to chase things that are moving such as other small animals and children. Since these terriers were bred to be independent hunters, they can be difficult to train. Eventually, through proper methods, the Welsh Terrier can be made to understand that the owner is the one in control, and the dog will behave accordingly.

Welsh Terriers are very energetic dogs that tend to run around for long periods of time without getting tired. They are also very persistent animals. Although they are enthusiastic about fighting, Welsh Terriers rarely back down and will stand up for themselves.²
