Welshund

It is quite difficult to determine the appearance of a Welshund.  Whilst its parent breed, the Welsh Terrier is fairly easy with being black and brown, its coat is long and wiry.  There is also the famous Welsh Terrier curly beard, moustache, and bushy eyebrows to consider.  Dachshunds on the otherhand, are more complicated, as they are available in three varieties, the smooth haired, the long haired, and the wirehaired, and also come in different size varieties too.  They are also known to be available in several different colors.  They can have several different eye colors too, including brown, blue and hazel.  All Dachshunds have short legs and a long body, but the Welsh Terrier can grow around 6 inches taller than the average Dachshund, so the height of the Welshund can vary.  Like the Welsh Terrier, the wirehaired Dachshund has a double coat.  A common trait between the two is that they both have powerful legs, and need regular exercise to burn off their energy. Both parent breeds have floppy ears, but the Dachshund’s are much larger.  The Dachshund has a long muzzle, which is powerful, and has a scissor bite, and the Welsh Terrier also has quite a long muzzle also into a scissor or level bite. The Welsh Terrier’s muzzle is covered in hair, often referred to as having a moustache and beard.  Both parent breeds have fairly short tails that point in an upwards direction, however, the tail of the Welsh Terrier is often docked in the few weeks following birth.  The Welshund should be reasonably easy to train, as both parent breeds respond well to training.  Exercise is essential for the Welshund, and as the Dachshund is known for its intelligence, it is important to mentally stimulate the breed also, to ensure that they do not become bored.
