My interest in animal breeding began early on, growing up on a large mixed family farm in Nova Scotia, Canada. I have 30+ years experience in the breeding, rearing & competing of livestock of many species and understand the value of the health and genetics of potential breeding stock. I completed a B.Sc. in Agriculture (Majoring in Animal Science) in 1998 and then carried on to complete my Veterinary Degree in 2002. I have a strong interest in animal breeding and genetics and have practiced as an equine veterinarian since graduation in the USA, Canada, and now the UK (which has been Home since 2007).
I have always had a passion for rare breeds of livestock, and my interest in Sealyham's began after spotting the breed in Country Life and joking about the resemblance to my treasured terrier Abe (although not a Sealyham he did get confused for one often!). The aim of this site is to provide some useful information and resources to help you raise a happy, healthy dog.
