Continue of the History of the Scottie Terriers

There is one person that played an important role in the History of the Scottish terrier’s. It was King James VI and he became James I of England in the 17th Century. King James sent six Scottie Terriers to the French monarch as a gift; because of his love and his adoration for the Scotties the breed increased their popularity throughout the world.

In the 19th century most of the dog writers seem to agree that there were two varieties of the existing in Britain at the time. The one was a rough haired so called Scotch terrier and the other one was a smooth haired English Terrier.

In 1829 Thomas Brown in his book Biological Sketches and Authentic Anecdotes of Dog he say that "the Scotch terrier is certainly the purest in point of breed and the (smooth) English seems to have been produced by a cross from him". Brown describe the Scotch Terriers "low in stature, with a strong muscular body, short stout legs, a head large in proportion to the body and was generally of a sandy colour or black with a long matted and hard coat".

The Scottish Terriers is developed for hunting small animals in the Scottish Highlands in the early 19th century. A description that shares characteristics with what was once known as the Aberdeen Terrier and is today known as the Scottish Terrier. In the paintings of Sir Edwin Landseer and an 1835 lithograph entitled "Scottish Terriers at Work on a Cairn in the West Highlands both depict Scottie Type Terriers very similar to those described in the first Scottish Terrier Standard".

The history of the Scottish Terrier

The several grouping of  the highland Terriers including the Scottie is under the generic name of the Skye Terriers but there are some confusion of this breed's.  The actually records of the 16th century tell as the the Skye Terriers are forerunners of the Scottie or vice versa, so people is disagre about it. 

Scotties and the West Highland White Terriers are closely related. The Scotties and the West Highland White Terriers forefathers is originated from the Blackmount region of Perthshire and the Moor of Tannoch. Scotties were originally bred to hunt and kill vermin on farms and hunt badgers and foxes in the Highlands of Scotland.
They don't know how old the breed is but the first written record of the dog similar description to the Scottish Terrier is from 1436 when Don Leslie described them in his book "The History of Scotland 1436-1561".
Sir Joshua Reynolds had painted a portrait of a young girl caressing a dog similar in appearance to the mordern day Scottie two hunderd years after the book was writing 1436.
