Sunday Dog, Featuring “The Amazing, Cian!”

Presenting the “Amazing, Cian”– the Welsh Terrier who can read minds!

Besides meaning “amazing,” Cian (KEE-in) is Gaelic for “ancient.”

Whoa! Down Boy! You’re not quite two, so there’s no way anyone could think you’re ancient. But, your breed, is!

Born on St. Patrick’s Day 2010, this not-so-ancient Welsh Terrier, full name Cian Finn (in honor of his person’s dad) is said to be “the oldest existing dog breed in the UK.”

While originally raised as a hunter, today’s Welsh Terrier is more at home in the show ring and looking “extremely” handsome just posing for his adoring fans.

Cian’s favorite toy is “any ball.” He plays fetch, knows: rollover, paw, heal, and halt.

This energetic terrier likes people & dogs but HATES SKATEBOARDS! And, he isn’t a big fan of delivery guys wheeling “big” hand trucks either.

Besides being very protective of his person, this pup has learned that good things are often hiding inside stuff, so you always have to sniff out the treats.

Thanks for being our Sunday Dog, Cian. You are truly “amazing.”

Get to know all of our Sunday Dogs at Boston Dogs.

Time to get ready to take our dogs out in Boston's winter weather. We recommend tucking those toes into Pawz dog boots. They're Maggie tested and BostonZest approved. Miss Maggie also has pals who prefer Musher's Secret. That's another way to protect paws from salt and ice damage.
