The Welsh Terrier Type Educational Series – Head

Join us for the second in a series of discussions on Welsh Terrier Type, the essence of the breed in terms of a set of features (silhouette, movement, coat and head) outlined in the breed standard.

In preparation, review the standard for the Welsh Terrier head.

Welsh Terrier Standard – AKC

1. What is the standard for the head?
2. How does the WT differ from the Wire Fox and Lakeland in terms of head shape, eye and ears?
3. How does the head differ in a dog versus bitch?
4. What do cheekiness, throatiness, down-faced, dish-faced, domed head, snipey muzzle and bumpy skull mean when referring to a Welsh?
5. If you could change one thing about your Welsh Terrier’s head, what would it be? If you are a breeder, what strategy would you use to achieve your objective?
