CorkyJohn 808 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Last time I spoke to M.R was at the terrier club AGM about 3yrs ago. I asked him about his 'Sealyhams' which he replied they weren't really Sealyhams anymore as they had to outcross to Russells that much they were now more or less Russells. They had used good quality Russells though as an outcross in the form of duggans stuff I thought they were never sealyhams just sealyham type looking terriers? That's what Morris told me Bryan, the proper Sealyhams of the like they had photos in Harcombes book my mate took. Quote Link to post
Doohan 46 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I thought they were never sealyhams just sealyham type looking terriers? They're alleged to be a mixture of Dachshund, EBT, Sealyham, JRT & whatever!!! So definitely a working Sealyham type bred for purpose! Quote Link to post

Sounds good enough to me I dont know much about this breed,but the picture in Darcy's book certainly looks the part! Terrier work 2 on page . Quote Link to post
J Darcy 5,871 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I believe they are a type. Rather than a specific "breed". The lads with the long term welfare of the dogs working ability at their hearts will only use digging dogs over digging bitches with work being the only criteria. Although there is only a smallish gene pool i wish them well..... Quote Link to post

Plenty of russels around with the sealyham blood tho. Quote Link to post

Traditionalhunter 93 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Its nice to know people are still working the sealyham terrier, An old terrier that has been around for many years and a great working terrier. All the best Quote Link to post
Traditionalhunter 93 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 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. This website has a few pics mate http://www.llawhaden.com/sealyham_centenary/Photos_1/Sidor/Working_Sealyhams_from_Carol.html Quote Link to post
