have made half that sum. Time being young, so far as attempting 

 to breed in conformity with a certain standard is concerned, we 

 must not be surprised to see still some divergences in type, one 

 judge preferring one kind and another another. One thing is 

 positive — the dog must not be bred on the lines of a Scottish Terrier, 

 although when he was first introduced the idea was prevalent that 

 he was but a white edition of the older dog. The West Highlander 

 is smaller, somewhat shorter in the back, and with legs a trifle 

 longer. He is altogether more active. In the head, too, differences 

 may be detected. This is broader in skull, and has a more clearly 

 defined stop beneath the eyes, and the muzzle is not so long and 

 powerfiil. His coat should be longer than that of Scottie — about 

 two and a half inches long to be exact — and it must be hard and 

 wiry without any suspicion of curliness or waving. The shaggy 

 hair on the face prevents earth and sand getting into the eyes when 

 he is busy underground in his efforts to dislodge fox or badger. A 

 profusion of soft undercoat has wet-resisting value. Finally, a good 

 terrier must move with plenty of liberty.
