Native Dogs Of Wales
Having drawn illustrations of the native dogs of Ireland and Scotland, I’m heading south now to lovely Wales.
Native welsh dogs include the following breeds:
- Cardigan Corgi
- Pembroke Corgi
- Welsh Terrier
- Welsh Springer Spaniel
- Welsh Sheepdog
- Welsh Hound
- Sealyham Terrier
Over the next few posts, I’ll be adding an illustration of each of these dogs.
