Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton

There
are
many
more
local
varieties
of
the
working
terrier
as,
for
example,
the
Roseneath,
which
is
often
confused
with
the
Poltalloch,
or
White
West
Highlander,
to
whom
it
is
possibly
related.
And
the
Pittenweem,
with
which
the
Poltalloch
Terriers
are
now
being
crossed;
while
Mrs.
Alastair
Campbell,
of
Ardrishaig,
has
a
pack
of
Cairn
Terriers
which
seem
to
represent
the
original
type
of
the
improved
Scottie.
Considering
the
great
number
of
strains
that
have
been
preserved
by
sporting
families
and
maintained
in
more
or
less
purity
to
type,
it
is
easy
to
understand
how
a
"new"
breed
may
become
fashionable,
and
still
claim
the
honour
of
long
descent.
They
may
not
in
all
cases
have
the
beauty
of
shape
which
is
desired
on
the
show
bench;
but
it
is
well
to
remember
that
while
our
show
terriers
have
been
bred
to
the
highest
perfection
we
still
possess
in
Great
Britain
a
separate
order
of
"earth
dogs"
that
for
pluckily
following
the
fox
and
the
badger
into
their
lairs
or
bolting
an
otter
from
his
holt
cannot
be
excelled
all
the
world
over.
