I have seen some really good sealyhamxrussell,i also had the pleasure of working one for awhile,hard as iron he was,he finished up in wexford and i know lads that dug him down there and said he was one of the best terriers they ever dug,some of the wexford lads might of known him the dogs name was sam.There is a few lads down in cork and wexford breeding some very good sealyhamxrussells.

But isn't that exactly what a perfect outcross is? Takes nothing from the original quality of a line , but keeps it going. Quote Link to post
