The Sealyham Terrier.....
... is a proud, compact sturdy little dog
that makes
an ideal companion for young and old in today's modern world, adapting
well to both city and country living. He expects the attention which he
considers his due and enjoys a brisk walk to investigate the new smells
in the neighborhood. He is very inquisitive and a delightful clown and
surveys the world with supreme self-confidence and good humor.
Sealyhams are most charming and
lovable, giving their
owners
endless love and devotion. While devoted to his family, he is never
servile, even when being disciplined. He will rarely, if ever, cower,
for he is possessed with an indomitable spirit and immense pride. He
owns, he is not owned by his family. Once he has taken his place in the
household, he is virtually assured of equal status.
The
Sealyham's temperament
has
remained one of his most distinctive traits -- friendly and lovable,
responsive to human contacts, a constant, loyal and devoted companion.
Having had one Sealyham in a home is to be satisfied with no other
breed, and that is the finest tribute that can be paid to any breed. |
