[1]Also called the Welsh Foxhound
The UKC standard also calls it the Welsh Foxhound or Welsh Bytheuad. It is thought to descend from the extinct Celtic Hound and old Staghound, and organized packs of pure Welsh Hounds have been maintained for nearly 200 years.
[1]A hound for rugged Welsh terrain
It is a sturdy, independent scent hound suited to rocky hills. The UKC standard says a loud voice is essential for hunting on windy Welsh hillsides and describes a tireless galloping gait.
[1]A medium rough coat in varied colors
It has long drooping ears and usually a dense, medium-length rough coat, although a smooth coat also occurs. The standard accepts black, fawn, red, tan, white and mixed colors.
