Sealyham Terrier -
Purebred Dogs and Puppies

A member of the Terrier group, The Sealyham Terrier was

originally bred in Wales. The Sealy loves people.

They really enjoy being house dogs and companions. Sealys are not as rowdy as some of the other terrier breeds.

The Sealyham is an affectionate companion with plenty of terrier spunk. He is extremely playful, eager to please, and a very sociable breed of dog. They also make an excellent guard dog.

The Sealyham was bred to work with other Sealyhams in hunting packs. As a result of this, a whole group of Sealyhams can peacefully live together.

Overall, they are somewhat reserved with strangers, fairly independent, and generally good with other pets, although they can get very dog-aggressive.

The Sealy may have independent tendencies, but will always be devoted and loyal to his family. The Sealy is a hard worker: powerful, and determined, and full of true terrier spirit - always ready to go, go, go.

The body of the Sealy is white while the head and ears may be colored. Typical colors may range from lemon to tan and badger in various combinations.

Professional trimming or stripping is needed to keep the dogs double coat in tip-top shape. Essentially, they are a non-shedding dog, and the fur is removed by the owner either by stripping the dead hairs from the coat or by monthly clipping. They have a medium-long coat and their tails are customarily docked.
