Walsh was educated for the medical profession, and practised for some years as a surgeon.  He was passionate about dogs and became an authority of the management of dogs and the treatment of their illnesses. A passionate sportman, Walsh became a sporting writer, and wrote many articles and books under the pen-name 'Stonehenge'. "The Dogs of the British Islands - being a Series of Articles (with illustrations) on their Various Breeds.." was well-respected and was reissued a number of times through to 1886. In 1856 Walsh joined the staff of "The Field" journal, and by the end of the following year became its editor.
