The Welsh Terrier is a
handsome Black & Tan dog; lots of personality and a fun loving
spirit !
Super great family companion,
ideal size for a great companion. Small enough to lift if
needed, but agile enough to jump in the car and very athletic.
Always looking for adventure, like most Terriers, and loves and
adores his family. Welsh Love kids and People in general.
Non Shed Hypo Allergenic, Low Dander
producer. Almost any one with allergies can be safe with this
breed. Coat is easy to brush weekly, and Groom every 6-8 wks.
Grooming options include Natural Teddy Bear Look or more
tailored Terrier Groom. This is accomplished with a 5 F blade on
the body and 10 blade on ears . *Hand stripping is not needed
unless you are actively showing. Taking a photo to your groomer
will greatly help and getting a groomer with Terrier experience
is a must as well.
Welsh are active, happy dogs. They do best
in a home with fenced yard, however if you live in an apartment
and are willing to walk for exercise, that's fine too! They love
to travel and go for car rides, happiest when a companion that
goes everywhere the family goes!
Welsh Terriers are very intelligent and
can be taught almost anything, however they do have a somewhat
stubborn side and can be strong willed. Firm assertive training
and being constant in leadership role is needed. They are a
wonderful breed, but must know you are the pack leader, or they
will accept the role , and take over the household !
Welsh Terriers love to chase varmint,
squirrels and rabbits, and love the smells and sounds of
outdoors. If you have a fenced enclosure or a safe acreage, then
you can allow to be free. However if in the city, a leash at all
times is needed. Impulsive excitement can cause them to dart off
after a chase or smell and this can be dangerous.
Non Shed & Hypo
Allergenic are extreme plus also! Grooming varies
from every 6 -12 wks, depending on the look you prefer. Tailored
and Sharp show look, or Scruffy Natural look. Weekly brushing
and a monthly bath with gentle shampoo is all they need to stay
in good condition. Striping the coat can be done, and is
required in showing to keep the coat the correct texture and
retain color clarity. In pets, clippers are used to create the
same look with correct blade choices. My favorites are 5 for
body 10 for ears.
K -9 Social Skill &
Interaction is very much necessary after you take a puppy home.
Do NOT isolate the puppy from other dogs. It needs interaction
to remain in tune with K9 connection. Terriers who are
isolated and live only with people, forget how to be Dog
Friendly. Do your part, find Playmates that are good disposition
and all sizes; good nature is a must. This insures that your
terrier will always look forward to play and interacting with
other dogs, rather than being a bully or aggressive towards
other dogs. Most important time 2-12 months. Puppy
Kindergarten is recommended at 16 wks. This is the ideal age for
learning and doing things your way. Six months plus is the
teenager stage and sometimes a little more independent and head
strong. I recommend Ceasar Milan CD Dog Whisperer to get in tune
to the “Leader of the Pack” method of training , because
Terriers can be head strong and somewhat stubborn. The key to
success is being the Leader and starting young with the process.
Ceasar's theory and skills with body language is key to success.
Have fun in Training and your dog will enjoy and excel.
Male or Female debate is
the most asked question I get. In my experience one is not
better than another. Its like our kids, no two are quite alike,
each has individual traits and quirks that make him Unique. Sex
is not responsible for smarter, sweeter or easier to train.
Neutering & Spaying is best for any pet. So choose the puppy NOT
the sex.
Mature size will be 20-24
lbs; males being slightly larger.
Price $600-$800
Safe
Shipping $250; includes
Crate for Travel & Training, Insurance and Air Fare.

driving to meet you .

Hi
Joy,
We purchased
a Welsh Terrier puppy from you last May. Her name was
Ginger when we got her, but we call her Siena now. I
wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A
month before we bought Siena my husband and I lost our
first child, Caleb. We had a completely normal pregnancy
with no complications and 10 days before his due date I
went to a routine appointment only to learn that his
heart had stopped beating and he was not alive. The
shock of learning that we weren't bringing our baby home
with us and instead picking out a coffin for him was
very traumatic. While we were in the hospital delivering
Caleb, I asked my husband if we could get a puppy. He
said after everything we had been through we could get 2
if I wanted!
So one month
after burying our baby we drove and picked up Siena. She
has brought so much joy and love into our lives. She
cries with us and is so clued into our emotions. She
reminds us that there is still joy in the world every
time she brings us another toy and wants to play.
Practically,
she helped get us out of the house when I am sure I
would have stayed shut it. We take her to family
gatherings and she helps break the awkwardness that
would be there. We love her so much and we say all the
time that she is Caleb's puppy. In a way, she is a
living memorial in remembrance of our son. Siena came
into our lives when many people would not come near
because of our tragedy. She has stayed with us in our
loneliness and comforted us in our dark moments.
We are now
pregnant again with Caleb's little sister, Abigail. She
is due March 4th and we are excited to bring her home to
Siena. Thank you so much for the wonderful dog you gave
us just when we thought life was over. Attached is a
picture of her and I and one by herself. Thank you!

Hello! Just wanted to give
you an update on Trixie (formerly known as Jade).
What a delightful addition to
our family she has been. I don't think her tail has
stopped wagging since she came in the house! She is
eating and drinking well, bathroom habits are good (only
one accident in the house!), and she slept in her crate
last night from 10:30-4:30. She is getting to know how
cats work and handles our huge cat nicely. We are so
impressed with her demeanor and personality. We look
forward to many years with her as a member of our
family!
We will keep you posted on
her progress. Thank you for sharing her with us!

Wow,
wow and wow. What a little dude. Joy this little
ball of fire has fit right in. He sleeps beside Asta,
plays hard with Rowdy and slept like a log. He is so
cute and active. This morning he has been stuck
under a footstool, discovered the joys of toilet
paper and washed both front paws in his water bowl.
He is very curious about everything and a real
sweetheart. I swear he acknowledges his name
already, its unbelievable, he has stole everyone's
hearts and has a cousin of mine and her husband who
are visiting are wrapped around his paws. He is
getting a lot of attention from everyone and I think
he is another very special guy. Thanks again, it was
a pleasure visiting with Jean. By the way, we know
you are busy but if you ever make it over this way,
you have to come by our "doghouse" you are always
welcome. By the way, Jasper got the Saturday Night
Special, he didn't eat much but he sure seemed to
enjoy gnawing on his dill pickle.

Zara, Welsh Terrier (4
months); Tommy, Wire Fox (4 months); Bennett, Wire Fox (14
years old)
owned by Morgan Goldhammer
All from Thomas Terriers... we are so PROUD!!!
Dear Ms. Thomas,
In
1997 (after years of begging my parents for a
dog), my family bought a wire fox terrier puppy
from you. We named him Bennett and I cannot even
begin to tell you how much he means to my
family. Bennett is 14 years old now and besides
his eyes and ears starting to go, he is healthy
and energetic. I have attached some pictures of
him.
Now I am 23, graduating college, and moving to
Kansas City, MO for my job. I cannot take
Bennett with me so I was hoping to get my own
puppies. I am hoping to get two and I was
wondering if it was possible to get both a wire
fox terrier and a welsh terrier.

Hi Joy,
All is very well here. He's eaten a
few times today already, little bits here
and there. He's gone potty outside every
time after waking from his naps and even had
a bowl movement.
He's great with the boys, loves
their energy level and even socialized today
with the neighbor, 9 month-old Japanese
Chin!
So far an absolute angel of a dog!
I can't stop looking at him and thinking how
cute he's going to be as an adult too.
I will try and give you some other
updates as time progresses and/or hit you up
with any questions I have.
Thanks again for a wonderful puppy!

Hi Joy! Just wanted to let
you know Henry is working out wonderfully with our
family! He enjoyed a walk the other day at a local state
park. (as far as he could go that is before my husband
had to carry him..lol). He has his vet apt. on Friday
for his next set of shots! I think he's grown already!
Thank you so much for our
"addition"..

Hi Joy
We got back yesterday from a weeks vacation
in Maine on the ocean. Willow went in the ocean. At
first she was afraid of the waves but she enjoyed
being in the water. I am enclosing a couple of
photos. The 1st is her sitting in a chair
sunbathing. The 2nd is her taking a nap in our
camper. She is doing great and now weighs about 8
pounds.

Guess who discovered
my fish pond!! His name is now Max and is slowly
learning how to live with us. Very slow in the potty
training but we love him anyway. He's very loving
and wants to see us at all times which can be a
little hard sometimes. Thanks for everything, Joy,
you went above and beyond to get him here and we
appreciate it,

Joy,
Just thought we would send
you a picture of Brandy, she just turned a year old.
We absolutely love her, she
is a sweet loveable dog, full of energy - we think she
sneaks jumping beans for breakfast (she almost jumps on
the counter)...
We had her spay and all went
well. Every time we look at her we can't help but
smile..
Thanks for breeding such a
wonderful dog... Hope all is well with you.

Hi Joy! Linda Page here, daughter of Joe
and Jean Leeah in El Paso who got Ozzie a little
over 2 years ago from you! Dad asked me to email
and send a picture - he had lost your email. He
wants to share other pictures with you. Joy,
that wild little welsh terrier has added so much
excitement and joy to my parents lives that I know
the good Lord had his hand in this whole
adventure!! He is the center of their lives and the
3 of them communicate with each other in a
remarkable way! Ozzie is super intelligent and
understands pretty much everything they say and do -
they talk to him just like they do to me!!
Dad has just about lost all of his sight now
and so life is more difficult in many ways but he is
healthy and will have a knee replaced in March so he
can get back to his golf, etc! He has dear friends
who line him up and tell him where to aim his shots!
We all worried whether getting a puppy at Mom &
Dad's age was the right thing to do.....but my Dad
had no doubts and it has turned out to be so much
the right decision!
Thank you so much for your part in all of
this!
Hope you and your family and dogs are
doing well.

Joy,
This is Joe and
Amy Lawrence, just to let you know how well the puppy has worked
out for us. The first several weeks were probably just as much
an adjustment for her, as it was for us. Remember, we haven't
had a dog in the house in 20 years. But, what a change a month
has made. Her name is Claire and she is sooo smart. She learns
just about anything the first few tries. She will sit, lay down,
retrieve a ball and return it, and even rings the bell by the
door to go out and do her business. She's still a little hyper
at times, but that seems to get better on a daily basis. Puppy
school was also a challenge at first, but is getting better. She
isn't afraid of anything! Anyhow, thanks for Claire. She's
increasingly becoming a part of the family now. Here's a recent
picture of her.
Cheers Joe and Amy

Hello Joy,
I just wanted to write a note on Fozzie's first birthday to let
you know how we're doing. Fozzie has been a wonderful addition
to the family—he's such a good boy, very trainable, and so much
fun. He lives to play fetch, chew bully sticks, socialize, and
lay in the sun, and he's been very gentle toward the new baby
(and everyone else). He has a little naughty streak in him and
enjoys being chased around and getting into trouble. He's
incredibly intelligent, loving, and unbelievably strong and
muscular. He needs (and gets) a lot of exercise.
We love him very much, and we're so glad we got him. Thank you
for our wonderful dog. Recent photo attached.
Best regards,
The Witkowski Family

Hi Joy,
Keegan is doing very well. Luckily I was not feeding him
any of the dog foods that have been recalled...
...Keegan went for his first day of puppy school today
which went as well as can be expected. Although he has
been socializing with the Sheltie next door and with
other dogs we meet along our daily walks, he was able to
play with a lot of other puppies today. There were
various dogs from a Black Labrador, Pug, Black & White
Pekingese, a couple of Shepherd mixes and a Soft-Coated
Wheaten Terrier. Keegan met his match with the Wheaton
Terrier. They both played a lot and had a good time.
Very Truly Yours,
Steve |

Attached pics of my niece,
Jayden and her first day with the puppy. She is doing
very well, she's an ornery little thing and likes to get
into everything! She's quite amusing though and my mom
cant get enough of her. My other dog has taken to her
quite well... They get into it every now and then. I
think they might be trying to figure out who's boss.
They both seem to want to be the boss...
...Hope you enjoy the pics.. everyone loves her! |

but we are still working on the manners. She is a
stubborn little girl. I will send you more

Joy: Long
time.
I was speaking with a neighbor of ours the other day who
sees Jo and I walking Mac and said she might call me to
find out about your kennel. That prompted me to look for
our correspondence about dogs almost 2 years ago. I
found it and the pictures you sent me and thought I
ought to send you some early and current ones of Mac.
The first picture here is of Jo and Mac in our backyard.
The second is him in his winter wonderland last winter
in Michigan. The third one we used as a Christmas card
last year. The fourth of Mac and Dolce' at Mackinac
Island last fall. This is the woman and dog responsible
for Jo's fear going away. While Dolce' chased Jo out of
their store the first time they met, he and Mac are
buddies now, and his folks good friends. All because of
the dogs.
We just love him so much and he has been everything you
said he would be. He is the child Jo never had. She is
very protective.
Thank you so much. I will be in touch when I hear again
from our neighbor. Saw the pictures of the new welsh's.
Too cute.

Joy, I am
sending you a picture of Megan and Rupert having their
Saturday Morning Breakfast. I don’t know if you remember
me, but we purchased Megan from you 2years ago last Feb.
after her brother pup died. Then your next litter (Ruppie’s)
we purchased Rupert. They are so much fun and we adore
them! And of course they’re both very spoiled and we
like them that way. Rupert rules the house and Megan
teases him often. Thank you so much for these bundles of
JOY!
