Breed Spotlight: Sealyham Terrier

Get to know a dog breed at the AKC Museum of the Dog!

Each month we are highlighting one of the 200+ recognized breeds in the American Kennel Club. You’ll learn the history of the breed as well as key characteristics of their anatomy and coat that help them meet the standard. Activities include art-making, stories and books, a collectable breed fact sheet, and an opportunity to meet a live dog.

January’s Breed Spotlight: Sealyham Terrier
Sunday, January 18, 12-2pm

The Sealyham Terrier is brave and spirited, but not as spiky as smaller terriers. These sturdy, outgoing companions are recognized by their ‘fall,’ the mass of hair covering the forehead. Sealy fans enjoy their dog’s sly sense of humor. A typical Sealy is well-muscled, built low to ground, and moves easily with long, determined strides. The weatherproof coat is predominantly white, and a long, broad head is furnished with lavish facial hair. Despite their rep as the bruiser among short-legged terriers, Sealys are cute, funny, affectionate, outgoing, and trainable, if a bit stubborn. Their alertness and a big-dog bark make Sealys excellent watchdogs. Blessed with an adaptable nature, Sealys are amenable to city dwelling or country life.

This event is free for Members and included with General Admission. Please be sure to purchase your General Admission tickets for the date of the event.
