Molly very quickly showed us at just a few weeks old that she was special and fully intended to be the "pick of the litter".

"In September 2019, Gary met sealyhams at a dog show. He had heard me reminisce about a sealy who was my buddy years ago. Gary wanted a sealy. After some research I discovered Afterglow. They had a litter and I connected with Lisa Inman Lee.
Gary was harvesting crops on our farm that Fall weekend, so I went alone to pick out his pup. I talked with Lisa and Geiger. I watched puppies. Thought I’d settled on one pup when the astute Lisa brought out another. Before you decide, she said, look at this one. It was love at first sight. I brought Molly home where she immediately established herself as leader and playmate with our shelties and english cocker.
After meeting Molly, Gary had one question - why did it take us so long to get a sealy??
Molly needed a groomer. After some searching, we found someone who would hand strip a terrier. I didn’t realize Leonardo Garcini also showed terriers professionally. At our first grooming session, he confirmed what I thought, Molly had show potential. We agreed to give it a try.
Molly began her show career taking 2nd in a class of two. Were we wrong about her potential? Or did she just need time to adjust to the show world? Our questions were soon answered when Molly won 4 and 5 point majors in strong competition.
Then it was a hunt for competition in a fairly rare breed. Molly became a champion.
Now she is home for good where she keeps us laughing with her antics. Smart, a little cocky, and loaded with charm; Molly is much more than we expected that day she joined our family. She and Gary are the best of friends. Each morning he takes her out for potty and play after the required tummy rubs. They take walks on the farm. Guess I picked the right puppy.
Thank you Lisa and Geiger!"
