Which breed, described as the 'King of Terriers,' shares ancestry with the Welsh Terrier?
Answer
Airedale Terrier
The Airedale Terrier shares a very close physical resemblance to the Welsh Terrier, often being characterized as a miniature version of the larger breed. Both breeds trace a shared ancestral line back to the now-extinct Old English Black and Tan Terrier. The Airedale is specifically nicknamed the 'King of Terriers,' setting it apart from the Welsh Terrier primarily in terms of substantial size difference, though both remain firmly within the *Canis lupus familiaris* subspecies.
