"The author has taken a keen interest in the Sealyham Terrier as a show dog from the very commencement, and makes no apology for his humble effort ...to place before the dog's many admirers ...a concise record of his origin." "There is probably no breed of dog that has grown in public favour and become so numerous in so short a time as has this utility terrier, which is comparatively a modern creation of the Principality. As a show dog the Sealyham Terrier was first exhibited at a show in Haverfordwest, the town of its origin, on October 3, 1903. ...In this monograph I have endeavoured to trace the origin of the Sealyham Terrier by a collation and examination of all the records that are available relative to the breed, and have followed the dog's growth and development, which have been remarkable, and herewith give my readers the result of that research, and data, together with his history and achievements from the first right up to the present." Chapters include: Origin and history of the Sealyham Terrier; List of the Sealyham Terrier Clubs and the description and Standard Points of the Sealyham Terrier; How to form a kennel of Sealyham Terriers; Selection and management of stud dogs and brood bitches; The housing, rearing, and selection of puppies; The housing, feeding, and exercising of adult Sealyhams; Preparation for the show ring; The Sealyham Terrier as a sporting companion; Symptons and treatment of common ailments.
