Breed personality, characteristics & temperament
Those fortunate people who have had a good Sealyham Terrier seldom want one of another breed in its place. A good Sealyham is meant to be good in character, health and looks. They are individuals and completely satisfying as companions in and out of doors. They make very good guards. They become devoted to their family of owners, they never forget a friend or a foe. They are most affectionate and return the love they get fully and joyfully.
Compatibility with other pets
As a puppy, the Sealyham Terrier can be taught to live with cats, other dogs, and birds. His boisterous nature, particularly with older pets, can be annoying but once he settles into a family, peace returns!
Care requirements
No family should take on the Sealyham Terrier unless they are prepared to look after it properly and particularly looking to the coat care. Being white, this double coat needs regular combing with a strong wire comb to get right down to the job of keeping the coat free of matting. This little dog does not suffer with any major health problems.
