The
Welsh
Terrier
breeds
as
true
as
steel;
you
know
what
you
are
going
to
get.
Had
popular
clamour
had
its
way
years
ago,
goodness
only
know
what
monstrosities
would
now
be
being
bred.
The
colour
of
the
Welsh
Terrier
is,
of
course,
against
him
for
working
with
a
pack
of
hounds,
especially
in
water.
It
is
only
fair,
however,
to
the
breed
to
say
that,
barring
this
colour
drawback,
there
is
no
better
terrier
to
hounds
living.
They
are
not
quarrelsome,
show
very
little
jealousy
one
of
another
in
working,
can
therefore
easily
be
used,
exercised,
and
kennelled
together,
being
much
better
in
this
respect
than
any
of
the
other
breeds
of
terriers.
They
also,
as
a
general
rule,
are
dead
game;
they
want
a
bit
of
rousing,
and
are
not
so
flashily,
showily
game
as,
say,
the
Fox-terrier;
but,
just
as
with
humans,
when
it
comes
to
real
business,
when
the
talking
game
is
played
out
and
there
is
nothing
left
but
the
doing
part
of
the
business,
then
one's
experience
invariably
is
that
the
quiet
man,
the
quiet
terrier,
is
the
animal
wanted.
On
the
formation
of
the
Welsh
Terrier
Club
a
standard
of
perfection
was
drawn
up
and
circulated
with
the
club
rules.
This
standard
has
remained
unchanged
up
to
the
present
day,
and
is
as
follows:--
