Sealyham Terrier Breed Guide

The Sealyham Terrier originated in Wales during the 19th century, developed by Captain John Edwardes at his Sealyham estate. These dogs were bred to hunt badgers, foxes, and otters, prised for their courage, tenacity, and ability to work both above and below ground.

Sealyham Terriers are small dogs with wiry, weather-resistant coats in white or white with lemon, brown, or badger markings on the head and ears. They're known for their rectangular build, alert expressions, and confident, spirited personalities.

These dogs are intelligent, independent, and make excellent family pets for those who appreciate terrier character. They're generally good with children but can be reserved with strangers. They require regular exercise and mental stimulation but are adaptable to various living situations. Their coats need regular grooming to maintain their texture. While generally healthy, potential concerns include eye problems, deafness, and certain genetic conditions. Early socialisation helps ensure they're well-adjusted around other pets and strangers.
