When public attention had been called to 
them, as I cared for the breed only and 
had no ambition to be known as a doggy 
man, I joined, with a few of those interested

Scotland. I have 
myself seen good specimens belonging to 
Ross-shire, to Skye, and at Ballachulish 
on Loch Leven, so that, as it is a 
breed with a long pedigree and not 
an invented breed of the present day, 
I thought it right to dissociate it from 
the name of Poltalloch ; but I find that 
many, perhaps better judges than my- 
self, think that that was a mistake, 
because there are some who claim that 
any white terrier born in the West High- 
lands may be called a West Highland

I wish that I found it possible to give a 
verbal description of what the type of the 
dog should be, as I find my dogs constantly 
judged by what is called the ‘Scottish ” 
terrier standard. 
I think, however, that the picture of 
an Eleven of Scotland which accompanies 
this chapter shows, to those who can see, 
more than any number of definitions in 
inches and tenths can explain. 
If anyone wishes to learn the peculiarities 
of the breed as compared with the accepted 
“Scottish” type, let him compare these 
eleven dogs, all workers of one kennel, 
with good photo- 
graph of a Scottish 
Champion, say, He- 
worth Rascal (see p. 
388) or Ems Cosmetic 
(see p. 386)—though I 
must remark that a 
singularly long fore-leg 
among the eleven is 
due not to the dog, 
but to photographic 
distortion. From the
