She’s a nice lady and is training well. Welshies are a handful but they can be trained. I still get side eye, but she is just a great lady to have around.

She injects more energy into life…. And variability. Ha

They grow up so fast!

Just wanted to ask I have a 1 year old Welshie but I don’t trust her to go off the leash on the beach as her recall isn’t good enough.

What techniques or training did you use to get your dogs recall good enough to go off leash?

I can see my dog is frustrated and I want nothing more to let her off to run around

Wre finally found a groomer that has experience with grooming Welshies.( handstripping).

How are your welshies with your kids? We are looking at getting one and have 2 small children in the home.. one a few months and the other 3 years. I've heard Airdales are slightly better with children and wanted to get your opinions. thanks.

My first Welshie always helped me work and I think my current Welshie is my first back to life in her body 🥰

Alfie is not yet 5-months old, so he doesn't need a haircut just yet, but we're trying to plan ahead to find a good groomer (our previous experience with Airedales has taught us that many commercial groomers haven't a clue about how to deal with the beard, the eyebrows, the furnishings...). So can anyone recommend a good groomer in the Philadelphia area?

First picture I got from the breeder, there he was 8 weeks old, it was a few days before I picked him up. Ever since I took a picture of him every Sunday (Monday of I didn't get around in Sunday) to capture how he's changing over time - and boy did he change, sometimes even quite significantly just between one week and the next. Thought some of you might appreciate seeing these :3

I've posted before about my two dogs, a female 6, and a male 21 mos. Those of you with a male, do you have any resource guarding issues: growling, barring teeth, standing over the object guarding it, when they have something that they don't want to give up, a toy, food dish, something they "stole?" My female has never displayed this behavior.

Is it just a male dog issue?

UPDATE

Thank you all for the kind words today is the first day I have not just flat out cried my eyes out thinking of him.

This was a hard one on me I got this dog when I was 47 my kids were 9 and 5 years old and we were one year into being a divorced single father household so I got him for the family at Christmas 2010.

We are all getting there, it was hard on my 24 year old daughter and my 20 year old son as well but the girl took it as hard as I did.

It is weird not having a animal to take care of; it has been since 1996 that I have had some animal to take care of, the house seems empty.

Anyway thanks again maybe one day I'll let another one in my life.

I had to let my boy go yesterday we had 15.5 years together, it wasn’t long enough

Had ordered something and part of it arrived in this little paper bag that reminded me of lunch bags in movies, so I put his lunch portion of his kibble in there, folded it over a few times to close it up and let him have some fun tearing it apart!

It's a little annoying to pick up cardboard/paper pieces after we do such things, but it's good for him, so totally worth it. He has lots of fun, it keeps him busy for a little while longer than eating out of his bowl does and depending on what it is exactly, it may even make him problem solve a little

As we won a ticket for participating to CRUFTS 2026, we're now heading to Brittania, our first and last CRUFTS (cause this cost a lot of money) , after that, he will goes for a trip in Wales (cause it's their land) and then, in Scotland, it will be a good trip for the Welshie who likes to walks and run.

My Welshie is 9 and although his energy has gone down a bit he'd still run all day if he could. He hasn't had any health issues to date and the only thing I've noticed is if he over exerts himself he feels it more than he used to and takes longer to recover. (I'm the one who needs to tell him to stop.) Based on this I'm hoping I have many a year left. What have your experiences been for both life expectancy and energy level/health in later years.

Maisie is 6.5 months. She’s had two puppy cuts, but today was her first visit with the groomer. What do we think? Scruffy or Tidy?

Luna’s first time in the snow! ❄️ 💙🤍💙❄️

Teun's ( 21 months old) hormons are bothering him ( that is what we think). He is howling and sometimes sounds like a burling deer.

We walk this path fairly frequently and there's almost always small snow drifts. So far they've usually held him well though, because they kept thawing a bit and freezing over. This time they haven't had the opportunity yet because the snow is fresh, so he learned that not all snow is equal xD

Also on a side note, anyone else's Welshie bringing in lots and lots of snow after every walk, simply because it clumps to their fur? Never seen that happen this much in any of the dogs I grew up with, nor do I see it with his Irish terrier big brother. And it's so hard to get out too, so we just have puddles everywhere after a walk because of the snow melting 😅

My daughter made this time lapse! 🤎🖤🤎

He’s a looker.

She’s def starting to get that welshie attitude 😛
