Welsh Terrier Coat Texture and Color

When we work on dog care and grooming, it is important to study the texture of the coat. This particular breed sports two different layers of coats. The inner layer is soft and fine while, by contrast, the outer coat is coarse and wiry.

Ideally, you get to see different colored coats in the majority of small and medium sized dog breeds. However, it is not the case with the Welsh Terrier.

The coat of Welsh Terriers is always of the same color pattern; tan and black. Apart from the same color scheme, the signature look of a typical Welsh Terrier breed includes bushy brows, v-shaped ears and tiny almond eyes that are usually brown.

These features need to be considered while grooming these pets.

The Popular Pekingese Breed

This is a very popular dog breed, not only because of its cute appearance but also because of its temperament.

One could be excused for assuming that little toy dog varieties are also dainty and subdued.

Well, the Pekingese breed, while cute and dainty, is a very proud dog that carries itself assuredly and can be quite stubborn in a number of ways. But you can expect most Pekingese to be content to sit quietly around the house, preferably on a fluffy pillow.  However, bring out the toys and you will have a very playful, entertaining little dog on your hands. 

The somewhat sensitive Pekingese doesn’t take kindly to any kind of rough play so perhaps this breed is not so suitable around very young children. Watch your hands too if you decide that he has had enough to eat and go to remove his bowl before he has devoured the whole lot.
