Sealyham Terrier Did You Know?
- The Sealyham Terrier was originally bred in Wales.
- The English Kennel Club first recognized the Sealyham breed in 1910 when
Sealyhams were first shown in a Kennel Club sponsored Championship dog Show.
- The Sealyham Terrier was recognized by the AKC in 1911.
- The Sealyham Terrier derives its name from Sealy Ham, Haverfordwest, Wales,
the estate of Captain John Edwards, who developed from obscure ancestry
a strain of dogs noted for their prowess in quarrying badger, fox and otter.
- Sources believe the Sealyham was produced from crosses between the Corgi,
Dandie Dinmont, West Highland White, Wire-Haired Fox Terriers, the Bull
Terrier and perhaps even some hounds.
- The Sealyham's first recorded show appearance was in 1903 at a local
affair in Wales and the breed was first imported to the U.S. in 1911.
