CHAPTER
XXXVIII
THE
SCOTTISH
TERRIER
The
Scottish
Terrier
as
a
show
dog
dates
from
about
1877
to
1879.
He
seems
almost
at
once
to
have
attained
popularity,
and
he
has
progressed
gradually
since
then,
ever
in
an
upward
direction,
until
he
is
to-day
one
of
the
most
popular
and
extensively
owned
varieties
of
the
dog.
Sir
Paynton
Pigott
had,
at
the
date
mentioned,
a
very
fine
kennel
of
the
breed,
for
in
The
Live
Stock
Journal
of
May
30th,
1879,
we
find
his
kennel
fully
reviewed
in
a
most
enthusiastic
manner
by
a
correspondent
who
visited
it
in
consequence
of
a
controversy
that
was
going
on
at
the
time,
as
to
whether
or
not
there
was
such
a
dog
at
all,
and
who,
therefore,
wished
to
see
and
judge
for
himself
as
to
this
point.
At
the
end
of
his
report
on
the
kennel
the
writer
adds
these
words:
"It
was
certainly
one
of
the
happiest
days
of
my
life
to
have
the
pleasure
of
looking
over
so
many
grand
little
dogs,
but
to
find
them
in
England
quite
staggered
me.
Four
dogs
and
eight
bitches
are
not
a
bad
beginning,
and
with
care
and
judicious
selection
in
mating,
I
have
little
doubt
but
Mr.
Pigott's
kennel
will
be
as
renowned
for
Terriers
as
the
late
Mr.
Laverack's
was
for
Setters.
I
know
but
few
that
take
such
a
delight
in
the
brave
little
'die-hards'
as
Mr.
Pigott,
and
he
may
well
feel
proud
of
the
lot
he
has
got
together
at
great
trouble
and
expense."
