SEALYHAM TERRIER

breed of terrier developed during the latter half of the 19th century by Captain John Edwardes for hunting foxes, otters, and badgers on his estate, Sealyham, in Wales. A small, short-legged, sturdy dog, the Sealyham was bred for courage, stamina, and hunting ability. It has a double coat, soft underneath and wiry on top, and may be solid white or white with darker markings on its head and on its drooping ears. The Sealyham stands about 27 cm (10 inches) and weighs about 9 to 9.5 kg (20 to 21 pounds).
