Thomas Terriers Joy Thomas Purchased Welsh Terrier and Irish Terrier. The Welsh was found to have congenital hip disease, required hip surgery before 6 months of age. The Welsh Terrier has terrible skin and allergy issues and is diagnosed with Atopic Dermatitis. Requires expensive medicine (Atopica) and daily paw care and it is still very difficult to control.
