welshwizard 33 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have been a fan of sealyhams for many years, but never got around to owning or working one. I wonder if there are any lads working them or crosses today, not the Sporting Lucas Terrier, not that I am decrying the S.L.T. Please can we see some photos of these brilliant little terriers.

dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I know lads who have kept sealyhams for years, but they are struggling to keep bloodlines going, outcrossing to russel/sealyham types now and then (DABBER, that one looks like a russel blooded sealyham to me?) I hope the breed survives as a digging dog, as the ones ive seen have been decent dogs by any standards. Quote Link to post

Bryan 1,362 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I thought the ones still around are just sealyham type, rather than a strict breed Quote Link to post

welshwizard 33 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 I have a photo somewhere of a famous dog called "Polo", I will try and sort it out. There was a local lad who bought a small Sealyham or Sealyham/Russell from a Pest Controller from a guy in the Conwy area of North Wales in the early seventies called "Winnie", she was one of the most honest working bitches I have ever had the privelige to see work. She did have the heart of a LION. Wish the were more of them about. I am showing my age now. ATB. Quote Link to post
