Dogs and All about Them

It
is
a
most
extraordinary
fact
that
Scotland
should
have
unto
herself
so
many
different
varieties
of
the
terrier.
There
is
strong
presumption
that
they
one
and
all
came
originally
from
one
variety,
and
it
is
quite
possible,
nay
probable,
that
different
crosses
into
other
varieties
have
produced
the
assortment
of
to-day.
The
writer
is
strongly
of
opinion
that
there
still
exist
in
Scotland
at
the
present
time
specimens
of
the
breed
which
propagated
the
lot,
which
was
what
is
called
even
now
the
Highland
Terrier,
a
little
long-backed,
short-legged,
snipy-faced,
prick
or
drop-eared,
mostly
sandy
and
black-coloured
terrier,
game
as
a
pebble,
lively
as
a
cricket,
and
all
in
all
a
most
charming
little
companion;
and
further,
that
to
produce
our
present-day
Scottish
Terrier--or
shall
we
say,
to
improve
the
points
of
his
progenitor?--the
assistance
of
our
old
friend
the
Black
and
Tan
wire-haired
terrier
of
England
was
sought
by
a
few
astute
people
living
probably
not
very
far
from
Aberdeen.
