Why are Sealyham Terriers rare?

Sealyham Terriers are rare today, but the breed was once quite popular, especially in the 1920s and 1930s, even among Hollywood celebrities and the British royal family. Sealyhams were originally bred for hunting, but with the decline of traditional hunting practices, there was less demand for working terriers. Modern pet parents often seek breeds with more adaptable temperaments for family life or urban environments. Sealyhams, while affectionate and loyal, are terriers with strong hunting instincts, which might not suit all lifestyles.
