HISTORY

The Sealyham Terrier derives its name from Sealyham, owned by Captain John Tucker Edwards, in Haverfordwest, Wales. Captain Edwards developed the breed in the mid-1800s to hunt small but difficult animals such as badgers, otters, and foxes. He crossed several breeds and tested the offspring to determine their hunting and hunting ability. As word spread about the little white terriers, they became popular in England. In 1903, the breed made an appearance in the show ring and the first Sealyham Terrier club was formed in 1908. In 1910, the breed was officially recognized by the Kennel Club of England. The first champion of the breed in England was a dog named St. Brides Demon. He got the championship from him in 1911 and stamps were especially popular in the early 20th century. They stood out in the show ring, and show entries were often in the hundreds. At the Pembrokeshire Hunt Hound Puppy and Sealyham Terrier show in Slade, Pembrokeshire, in 1914, 600 Sealyham Terriers were entered, with 71 in the Open Dog Class and 64 in the Open Bitch Class, numbers that have never been matched since. Terriers were also recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1911, shortly after the first Sealies were imported into the US The American Sealyham Terrier Club was formed in 1913.
