It was only necessary for Sealyhams to be seen in order for 

 them to gain admirers, and in the course of quite a short time they 

 have become one of the features of any large show. Opinion 

 is agreed that Sealyhams are useful-looking terriers, hard bitten, 

 and fully capable of acquitting themselves as staunchly as their 

 supporters aver. That the type is not yet altogether characterised 

 by uniformity is a matter for no surprise, and any differences that 

 are apparent can easily be adjusted. All that we can hope is that 

 in the future he will remain in the right hands, and not be made a 

 pawn in the game of commercialism, or be allowed to degenerate 

 into a carpet knight. 



A reference to Miss Earl's picture will give one a better idea 

 of the style of terrier required than any pen portrait can convey. 

 It may be noted that he should have a long and powerful jaw, 

 squarer than that of the fox terrier. The drop ears are V-shaped, 

 and the eyes, set wide apart, are round and large, of a dark brown 

 or dark hazel colour. The broad chest should be well let down 

 between the forelegs. The body is long and supple, ribs well 

 sprung, hindquarters very powerful. The legs should be as short 

 and straight as possible, and the feet round and cat-like. The 

 colour is mainly all white, or with lemon, brown, or badger-pied 

 markings.
