Welsh Wire Fox Terrier History

The Welsh Wire Fox Terrier is a breed of toy terrier that originated in the United Kingdom. It is a working terrier, meaning that it was originally bred to flush out, chase, and kill vermin.

The hunt required small, agile, and sturdy dogs that could keep up, and the Clumber Spaniel, English White Terrier, and Scottish Deerhound were crossed with native short-legged, white-coated, working-class dogs to create the modern Welsh. The Clumber Spaniel and English White Terrier were the most popular early breeding stock for the indigenous British “Welsh”. However, the FCI now only recognizes different types of Welsh as distinct breeds. The FCI recognizes the read-only “Welsh” as an English-bred miniature terrier, and the “Welsh Silky” and traditional “Cardigan” as two varieties of the Sealyham. # What is the history of the Tibetan Mastiff dog breed?
