THE SCOTTISH TERRIER. 
Ch. Callum Dhu, Mr. McCandlish’s Ems 
Cosmetic, Mr. Chapman’s Heather Bob 
and Heather Charm, Mr. Kinnear’s Sea- 
field Rascal, Mr. Wood’s Hyndman Chief, 
Messrs. Buckley and Mills’s Clonmel Invader, 
and Mr. Deane Willis’s Ch. Huntley Daisy 
and Ch. Carter Laddie. 
As has already been stated, Mr. Ludlow 
had at one time a very strong—as well as 
extensive—kennel, and it is probably cor- 
rect that he has bred more champions 
than anyone up to date. The breed is now 
so popular, and competition so keen, that it 
is much to be doubted whether it will fall 
to the lot of anyone else to be as success- 
ful in this line as he was. Mr. Chapman, 
of Glenboig, N.B., was another gentleman 
who had at one time a very powerful col- 
lection and was at the same time a most 
successful breeder. First, Sir Paynton Pigott 
dropped out, then Mr. Ludlow, then Mr. 
Chapman ; and the mantle of the lot seems 
to have fallen now on Mr. McCandlish, 
who seems to have, at any rate in bitches, 
the strongest kennel of to-day ; and nearly 
all his terriers are bred by himself. Mrs. 
Hannay has always had a strong kennel, 
and so have Mr. Reynard, Mr. Kinnear, 
Mr. Wood, and Mr. Cumming. Other 
successful breeders have been Mr. Cuthbert 
Allen, Mr. Peter Stewart, Mr. J. D. Brown, 
Mr. Irwin Scott, Mr. Cowley, the Rev. G. 
Fogo, the Misses Niven, Mr. Crawford, and 
Mr. Colin Young. 
It is highly probable that of all the 
terrier tribe, the “‘ Scottie,’ taken as a 
whole, is the best companion. He makes 
a most excellent house-dog, is not too big, 
does not leave white hairs about all over 
the place, loves only his master and his 
master’s household, and is, withal, a 
capable and reliable guard. He is, asa rule, 
a game, attractive terrier, with heaps of 
brain power, and from a show point of view 
there is always some recompense in keep- 
ing him, as it will be found he breeds true 
to type and does not beget offspring of all 
sorts, shapes, and makes.

Nothing is perfect in this world. Every- 
thing has faults. The Scottish Terrier is no 
exception. His fault is not, however, of his 
own making. It is a fault which, if pos- 
sible, should be eradicated, and every step 
should be taken with a view to accomplish- 
ing this. In purchasing a Scottish Terrier 
one must be careful not to become pos- 
sessed of one of the timid, nervous, snappy 
ones. In almost every litter that is born

nowadays there is, as a rule, one of this 
sort. He ought to be put out of the way 
at once as soon as it is recognised that he 
belongs to the class, for nothing will ever 
make him better. He is a degenerate, a 
result, in the writer’s belief, of too much 
inbreeding. The danger of him is that he is 
at times the best-looking puppy in the 
litter, and though it is recognised—after 
several pounds have been spent on him— 
that he is no use to show, he is what is 
called relegated to the stud. The breed is 
in danger of him, and it is because of the 
love the writer bears the breed that he begs, 
in conclusion, for the complete annihilation, 
root and branch if necessary, of these 
“ dangers.”
