Know Before You Commit
Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:
これはこの犬種における最も重大な行動上の課題です。ウェルシーズは単に愛情深いだけでなく、長時間一人でいることができないことが多く、強い苦痛を示します。トイレにまであなたを追いかける「影の犬」として知られています。1日8時間外で働いているなら、この犬種はおそらく重篤な分離不安を発症し、破壊的な噛み行為、遠吠え、粗相として現れます。
非常に賢く喜ばせたいという気持ちが強いにもかかわらず、ウェルシーはイングリッシュ・スプリンガーと比べて独立心が強い面があります。においの方が呼び戻しのコマンドより面白いときに「選択的に聞こえないふり」をすることで知られています。感受性の強い犬で、厳しい叱責は自信を失わせ、消極的になる一方、消極的な態度では無視されてしまいます。
この犬種は感情的に敏感です。興奮したときや挨拶されたとき、あるいは大きな声や威圧的な態度で怖がったときに、子犬だけでなく若い成犬でも排尿することは珍しくありません。
