WEST HIGHLAND 
WHITE TERRIER — This 
is a distinct breed. The dog 
is not a white Scottish Ter- 
rier, although it is probable 
that all the terriers of Scot/ 
land came from the same 
original stock. He is small, 
game, and very hardy, a 
great combination of strength 
and activity. He has a dou- 
ble coat, the undercoat be- 
ing soft and close, the outer 
coat hard and wiry, and always white in color. The West Highland 
measures 8 to 12 inches in height and weighs about 17 or 18 pounds. 
CAIRN TERRIER—The Cairn is descended from the old time work¬ 
ing terrier used to hunt foxes, otter and other vermin on the Scottish 
Isle of Skye. He is active, game, and hardy, and is strongly but not 
heavily built. The double coat of hair 
is soft and furry underneath, with a 
hard, weather-resistant outer coat. He 
may be any color but white, and dark 
ears, muzzle, and tail tip are desirable. 
This dog should measure about 9]/2 
or 10 inches in height, and the ideal 
weight for male Cairns is 14 pounds, 
for females 13 pounds.
