The Sealyham Terrier is a breed of dog originating from Wales.
It is a small dog (30 cm), well proportioned (10 kg) and muscular. It has a broad, strong head with a flat skull and a medium-length muzzle. Its eyes are medium sized and oval in shape, and its ears are triangular in shape and pendulous. Its distinct feature is its dense, weather-resistant coat, which is usually white, but can also have patches of lemon, fawn, or black.
The Sealyham Terrier is renowned for its courageous, lively and self-confident temperament. He is loyal to his family and can be protective. He is also known for his intelligence and determination, which makes him both curious and stubborn dog. The Sealyham Terrier can get along with children if properly socialized from an early age. He can also cohabit with other dogs and pets, but he may have a tendency to want to dominate other dogs.
He is an active dog that requires a good amount of daily exercise to maintain his physical and mental health. Regular walks, interactive play sessions and agility challenges can help meet his energy needs. The Sealyham Terrier is also a dog that likes to dig, so it's important to provide them with suitable areas where they can indulge in this natural behavior.
The Sealyham Terrier has an average life expectancy of 12 to 14 years. As with any breed of dog, they can be predisposed to certain health conditions, including eye problems, skin problems, and spinal disorders. Regular visits to the veterinarian, a balanced diet and good dental hygiene are essential to maintain your health and well-being.
