We are very pleased to introduce our new Sealyham Terrier health database (SealyHealthGuard). This site was originally set up for the use of all Sealy owners to track the prevalence of Primary Lens Luxation in our breed, utilizing all the information collected by GDC in our SIGHT Registry. A major breakthrough occurred in September 2009 when Dr. Gary Johnson at the University of Missouri isolated the mutated gene which causes PLL and a DNA test was devised. Working through OFA, over a hundred Sealy owners have had their dogs tested, and these results have been added to the SealyHealthGuard site.

BUT THIS SITE IS NOT JUST FOR EYE PROBLEMS

It's designed to track and provide information for any and all diseases and anomalies that plague our breed - skin problems, epilepsy, back problems, cancer, deafness and others. We need complete health information on our dogs so we can see where the major problems are and invest our research dollars accordingly, so if you love our breed and want to help it for the future, go in and sign up.
It's free to ALL Sealyham lovers. And it has a number of other great features -- you can download a photo of your dog and his pedigree. You can access a write-up of most of the diseases that plague our breed in the "Library" section, and you might even see your dog when you log on in the "Photo of the Day" on the front page.
