Sealyham Terrier came into existence after Captain John Tucker-Edwardes decided to create a terrier that will serve as a perfect sporting companion that is also fearless. He was believed to have crossed Dandie Dinmont terriers, fox terriers, West Highland terriers amongst others in order to create the Sealyham Terrier. After its creation, it was used to flush pheasants and rabbits. Sometime around the 20th century, this breed was a must-have for the jet-set and was found even amongst royalty.

This breed has a tendency to have a dominant personality if left unchecked but if properly trained, the Sealyham Terrier can be the calmest dog ever.
