The Welsh Terrier is a dog breed, one of many Terrier breeds. The Welsh Terrier originates from Wales and has existed since the last century. Until 1900, it was called the "Old English Terrier" or "Black and Tan Rough Haired Terrier". The breed has been recognised since 1886 and is more common than the Airedale Terrier or the Fox Terrier.

The Welsh Terrier is suited to fox hunting and for being kept as a pet. This breed is coloured black and tan. They can grow up to 38cm with a weight of 9 kg.
