History Scottish Terrier
The Scottie is a short-legged British terrier, like the Westie, the
Scotty was developed in the Scottish highlands. Progenitors of the fiery
Scottie were sent to France's monarch by King James I of England in the 16th
Century, but as late as 1882, three different terriers were exhibited as
Scotch Terriers.
These included the Scottie, Cairn, and West Highland White terriers. The
Dandie Dinmont had been included earlier, but this dog's obviously different
appearance gained it recognition as a separate breed.
Terriers were developed in Britain to hunt vermin that plagued farmers by
eating grain, eggs, and poultry. Courageous, eager to follow fox into a den,
they were built to dig their way in if necessary.
