Sealyham Terrier
Small Size
Doesn't moult much
Not good for first time owners
The Sealyham Terrier was developed to work alongside Otterhounds on the river Seal in Pembrokeshire. It would go to earth after otters, as well as badgers, foxes and polecats.
FACT SHEET
Hollywood wannabes. The Sealyham became fashionable after the First World War with actors Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor and Cary Grant all owning them.
Anyone not wanting a mud magnet. Sealyhams are close to the ground and in muddy conditions their long coats can get very dirty.

Small
Small - but bigger than most cats
Medium (About an hour)
Doesn't have to be a solid hour, you can give them lots of short walks.
Spikey
If not hand stripped will go fluffy. If you don't pluck their fur in the old fashioned way they transform from spikey to soft.
Doesn't moult much
But all dogs shed dander so if you're allergic, make sure you'll be ok
