Dogs and All about Them

The
fact
that
there
was
such
a
kennel
already
in
existence
proved,
of
course,
a
strong
point
in
favour
of
the
bona
fides
of
the
breed.
The
best
dog
in
it
was
Granite,
whose
portrait
and
description
were
given
in
the
Journal
in
connection
with
the
said
review;
and
the
other
animals
of
the
kennel
being
of
the
same
type,
it
was
at
once
recognised
that
there
was,
in
fact,
such
a
breed,
and
the
mouths
of
the
doubters
were
stopped.
Granite
was
unquestionably
a
typical
Scottish
Terrier,
even
as
we
know
them
at
the
present
day.
He
was
certainly
longer
in
the
back
than
we
care
for
nowadays,
and
his
head
also
was
shorter,
and
his
jaw
more
snipy
than
is
now
seen,
but
his
portrait
clearly
shows
he
was
a
genuine
Scottish
Terrier,
and
there
is
no
doubt
that
he,
with
his
kennel
mates,
Tartan,
Crofter,
Syringa,
Cavack,
and
Posey,
conferred
benefit
upon
the
breed.
To
dive
deeper
into
the
antiquity
of
the
Scottish
Terrier
is
a
thing
which
means
that
he
who
tries
it
must
be
prepared
to
meet
all
sorts
of
abuse,
ridicule,
and
criticism.
One
man
will
tell
you
there
never
was
any
such
thing
as
the
present-day
Scottish
Terrier,
that
the
mere
fact
of
his
having
prick
ears
shows
he
is
a
mongrel;
another,
that
he
is
merely
an
offshoot
of
the
Skye
or
the
Dandie;
another,
that
the
only
Scottish
Terrier
that
is
a
Scottish
Terrier
is
a
white
one;
another,
that
he
is
merely
a
manufactured
article
from
Aberdeen,
and
so
on
ad
infinitum.
