EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Bess Bach, a Sealyham Terrier, who made history as one of the first representatives of her breed to be exhibited at the prestigious Kennel Club Show in 1910. The image, taken in 1913, showcases Bess Bach's striking features that epitomize the Sealyham Terrier breed. With her distinctive white coat, black ears, and a confident, alert expression, Bess Bach embodies the breed's unique character. The Sealyham Terrier, originating from Wales, was developed during the late 19th century as an all-purpose farm dog. Bred for its agility, courage, and tenacity, the Sealyham Terrier was an excellent hunter of badgers, otters, and other vermin. The breed's distinctive appearance, with its white coat and black ears, was designed to help the hunter distinguish the terrier from its quarry. Bess Bach's appearance at the Kennel Club Show marked a significant milestone for the Sealyham Terrier breed. The show, which began in 1859, is one of the oldest and most prestigious dog shows in the world. Bess Bach's presence at the event helped to establish the breed's recognition and popularity among dog enthusiasts. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Sealyham Terrier breed and the important role that dogs like Bess Bach played in the development and recognition of their breed. The image not only captures the essence of a beloved and iconic breed but also provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the strong bond between dogs and their human companions.
