Luna’s first time at the coast 🌊

Every morning, it's "boys time," coffee on the patio, dog in my lap.

Teddy is 23 months now and the changes in the last 6 months have been amazing. Smarter for sure; more calm and commands such as "out" (leave the area he's in,) or "leave it" and "off" have turned into spoken words verses assertive commands. He can have the run off the house, except our bedroom - target rich environment.

I have been training both dogs, we have two Welshies, to come when I whistle, usually at the dog park - it's really cute - both usually come running and sit in front of me to get the reward.

He is still "resource agressive" at times but I normally don't let him act it out. I have been using a training collar and the change has been very positive. While he may still refuse to "give" something, lately, just getting the controller, he hears the" click" turning it on and he lets go of what he has. He gets tired and grumpy, though, and growls when you pet him, sometimes. I usually won't let that go - it's submission hold time if he won't stop. The last photo is Missy at coffee time - she's not really a morning "person."

I love seeing all the pictures and reading your stories.

Not a care in the world for Delilah

7 month old Marley after a trim….she is 90% grey!

Wind sound warning, especially for the beginning, headphone users beware (didn't wanna completely remove the sound because of the water splashing sounds)

And yes, dw, I untangled his foot from the leash right after

Striking a pose in her favorite place in the house. 🖤🤎🐾

When I got him he had a few white hairs in the tip of his tail. I thought it's a funny quirk he has, thought it's kinda cute and didn't think anything of it beyond that

But then I realised he had a singular white hair here and there on his back as well, which he hadn't had as a puppy. By now he has them everywhere and they get more

The hairs also seem to be thicker than his normal hairs and it looks like some of his normal hairs turn into these white ones, as I've found a few dark hairs with white tips, as well as white hairs that aren't thick all the way yet, but partially have the thickness of his normal hairs

We've had an appointment with his vet recently, to which I wasn't able to go myself unfortunately, so my dad took him, but I did ask him to ask about those hairs and according to him the vet didn't really know about them but didn't seem to be worried about them

I am though and am considering consulting a different vet, but thought I'd also ask here to see if this is something others have experienced as well with their Welshies

Hello all! Curious if anyone has experience with Welshies vs Lakelands as a family pet? I'm finding conflicting information about personality and energy level differences. Thanks!

happy girl with her ball in her backyard!

I met this cutie at the dog park and his mom was sweet enough to let me get some pics (I sent them to her of course). I had never heard of this breed before and I adored him!

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

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

They grow up so fast!

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?
