White Scottish Terriers 249 
“Hard coats are more prevalent in 
the white variety than in the dark. 
These beautiful little dogs have now been 
recognised by the English and Scottish 
Kennel Clubs as a separate variety, and 
they have been given classes all to them- 
selves. Specimens true to type have been 
exhibited for some time in London shows— 
notably at Cruft’s and the Crystal Palace 
—and in Scotland, at Edinburgh, where 
they attracted a good deal of attention. 
“From the results I have obtained 
in breeding these white terriers, I feel 
certain that it is quite possible to breed 
them pure white, and that anyone who is 
interested in breeding animals and possesses 
at the same time a few of the qualifications 
of a breeder can obtain, in the breeding 
and rearing of white Scottish terriers, 
endless amusement, constant pleasure and 
eratifying success.” 
I do not think I need add much to 
the foregoing sketch of this charming 
variety, but 1 may say that the first real 
Scottish terrier I ever saw, when I was 
a school boy, was exactly the type and 
style of “ White Heather,” illustrated in this article, of a very pale oatmeal colour, 
and belonged to the late Captain N. Phillips, of Whitson Court, Monmouthshire, 
who told me he bought him in the Highlands. In the course of my judging 
experience I have had “ White Heather,” before mentioned, and others of her colour 
belonging to different exhibitors—Messrs. Arthur Maxwell, of Darlington, Phipps, of 
. Weston-super-Mare, and others whose names I forget—before me, as well as the dogs 
of most of the persons whose names I mentioned in the first part of this article, and I 
have little doubt that in the future, as dogs of this colour become more known, they will 
increase in numbers and popularity. 
“TINY.”
