The Sealyham Terrier is a small to medium-sized dog breed from Wales, where it originated as a working dog. It is described as rare and has a principally white body with a rough coat. Captain John Edwardes developed the breed at Sealyham House in Pembrokeshire during the mid-to-late 19th century. Its listed height is 31 and its listed weight is 8.2; no units are specified for either figure. These details offer a basic picture of the breed’s origin, appearance and size, though they do not describe its present-day temperament or care needs. The Sealyham Terrier’s Welsh roots and working-dog beginnings are central parts of its breed background.
