Are Welsh Terriers good for first-time dog owners?

Welsh Terriers are not typically recommended for first-time dog owners due to their independent nature and strong will. They rank low in obedience (2/5) and adaptability (2/5), requiring consistent training and clear boundaries from an experienced owner. While intelligent problem-solvers (3/5), their assertive personalities can be challenging for those new to dog ownership.
