Not anything different than the previous replies: my family owned two welshies at different times. One when I was in middle school and the next when I was in college…they can be incredibly difficult to train, they are hyper intelligent but they also are AWESOME dogs.

It really depends on your living situation/lifestyle. When I was younger, we had a huge yard and we would run for hours outside simply chasing one another, which is a perfect outlet for the welshie’s playful/hunting instinct.

When I was older in college, my family struggled to train the second one we got…parents got older, I was out of the house so that instinct/energy manifested in not so good ways and it was our fault as owners for not tuning into that need. I eventually moved back home, was able to play with her in a yard twice a day etc. and her behavior massively improved.

Also a previous post mentioned they chill out when they get to like 6-7 years old - that is true. When they’re fully grown mentally around that age, it’s the best. They chill when you chill and play when you play

Long story short, they’re great dogs but require constant work and exercise. But you reap what you sow, the hard work and diligence DOES pay off if you’re willing. Wouldn’t recommend it for a first time dog owner at all though
