As a house-dog and companion, the Welsh Terrier is a splendid alternative to his more popular white relation, the Fox Terrier. He is quieter both in temperament and in colouring, though lacking nothing in activity and courage. Indeed it is said that the only disadvantage of this breed for use with the hounds is their similarity in colouring to the foxes themselves, one or two having been torn up by the hounds in mistake.

One of the oldest varieties of the Terrier family, this sporting breed was widely employed in the Principality for hunting foxes, badgers and otters - its old name being the Black and Tan Wire-haired Terrier. About 1883 the Welsh Terrier Club was formed, the Welsh Terrier Association being of more recent foundation. These two organizations have considerably improved the breed, as is proved by a comparison of a good Welsh Terrier of to-day with one of the old prints. The black and tan of the coat should have no black below the hocks.
