They are definitely more vocal than males, although the Welsh is not a yapper. The bitches are the hunters. The prey, usually rats, are protected in a special cage, so the dogs never come in actual contact with them. Each run is timed from the release of the dog near the tunnel entrance to the dog's arrival at the prey, and for the length of time the dog indicates the prey's presence by barking or digging. To qualify for a Certificate of Gameness or the CG title, the dog must complete the 30-foot tunnel run.
Males tend to be easy-going, devoted, friendly companions, and are more challenging than aggressive.
They are steadier, quieter, and quicker to enjoy the fun in life than the bitch. All this quickness can be to the dog's detriment if he is not taught right from wrong. Provide these needs and you'll have a loyal friend for life. You may print or download this material for non-commercial personal or school educational use. All other rights reserved.
