Origin	The Sealyham Terrier was bred in Wales in the mid-1900s. Captain John Edwardes of Sealyham, Pembrokeshire, was determined to produce his idea of a perfect terrier. He wanted a breed that was small enough to go to ground after badgers and courageous enough to fight otters with the Captain's Otterhounds. The Sealyham is believed to have begun with the Corgi and with the Dandie for short legs and pluck. The West Highland White Terrier, Bull Terrier and Wire Fox Terrier are possible contributors to this breed. They are recognized by the AKC and the UKC.
