The Sealyham Terrier derives its name from Sealyham, Haverfordwest (Wales), where the domain of Captain John Edwardes was located, who selected a variety of dog known for its predisposition to hunting small game. He crossed Dandie Dinmont Terriers with white English Terriers (a variety now extinct), Fox Terriers, West Highland White Terriers or Corgis and then tested the hunting qualities of the dogs resulting from these crosses, eliminating the subjects that did not suit him. step1. The Sealyham became a fashionable dog in Hollywood. Alfred Hitchcock, Jean Harlow, Cary Grant and Elizabeth Taylor owned one, as well as Princess Margaret. The breed was very common in England, but its popularity declined when badger hunting was banned. The Sealyham thus became a companion dog and its use in hunting is now anecdotal. The first Sealyham Terrier Club was established in 1908 and the breed officially recognized in 1910. The Sealyham Terrier is now recognized by major canine societies. Once one of the most popular terriers and the best-known canine breed in Wales, the Sealyham is now listed by the Kennel Club as one of the most endangered indigenous breeds2.
