The Welsh Spaniel is a cheerful, affectionate, and highly energetic companion. Bred for hunting, they are intelligent, eager to please, and form strong bonds with their families, thriving on activity and companionship.
This breed has high exercise demands, requiring at least an hour of vigorous activity daily, such as long walks, runs, or engaging play sessions in a secure area.
Regular brushing several times a week is needed to manage their moderate shedding and prevent mats in their silky coat. They require a high-quality diet suitable for active, medium-sized breeds.
