History:

In the 17th century, when King James VI of Scotland became James I of England, he wrote to Edinburgh to send a six-headed terrier as a gift to France. He then wrote to Caldwell calling Earl of Montielh well. Later Great Britain authority, RauodonB.Lee wrote as follows: It is one of the oldest breeds native to England. The dog has been popular in the Highlands for many years, however, oddly enough, it is still known locally, even though it differs from the long-haired, non-hunting Skye Terrier.

Leave guesses and conjectures aside and boil them down to history and known facts. But people do know that Scottish Terriers bred for many years have been purebreds. The first classification of the Suroran Terrier at a dog show took place in Birmingham, England in 1860. Later, many other dog shows adopted this classification, but the dogs in the show were not Scottish Terriers, but Skye Terriers and Yorkshire Terriers. For a long time, Scots who had seen the Scottish terrier win races were aggrieved, and around 1877 they erupted into an argument at the LivesFounal, in a series of letters where they opposed the ranking and discussed the criteria for a true Scottish terrier and characteristics. The discussion gradually became so heated that the editor of the magazine finally called for a suspension with a statement, "It is thought that there is no use in continuing this debate unless the dog described by each correspondent is a real Scottish Terrier", Gordon Marray The captain took up the challenge. He wrote to a livestock breeder under the pseudonym "strathbogie" detailing his understanding of a true Scottish Terrier. This quelled the parties to the argument, and around 1880 JB Morrison was persuaded to develop a standard that was adopted by the parties to the argument.

The essence of this standard has been preserved in all subsequent standards, with only minor changes. The Scottish Terrier was established in 1882, and its officers were jointly held by England and Scotland. Later, with the growing interest in the breed of dogs, the two countries formed their own clubs. Although they usually work together very harmoniously.

The Scottish Terrier was first introduced to the United States thanks to John Naylor, who originally imported a male and a female named TamGlen and Bonnie Belle in 1883. He continued and widely imported dogs of the breed. The famous "Glenlyon" and "Whinstone" dogs were found in his later imports. The first Scottish terrier registered in the United States was named Dake (3688), and gave birth to a brindle puppy from Indiana. Raised by a man named "0. P. Chandler" in the Cocoa region, the dog's ancestor is Naylors Glenlyon. Around the same time, the American Club was formed. In December 1881 a bitch named Lassie was registered by a man named WH Todd in Vermillion, Ohio. Lassie's parents are Gleneoe, the offspring of a cross between an imported Whinstow and an imported Roxie. Now Allistor believes that whiin-stone and Durdee together form the two main sources of this breed. Whislon is the father of Ch, Bellingham Baliff, who was bred by JJ Little, founder of the famous Kennel Club. So Whinstone is the ancestor and parent of the American Scottish Terrier.

Thousands of dogs have been imported from past to present, and many well-known Scottish Terrier breeders have been doing this work. It may be that the early bloodlines have been found, but these early terriers must have a place in history. For early breeder John Naylor and the breed's purveyors, the immense fondness for this faithful represents a permanent memorial.

Origin:

Originated in Scotland, England, 19th century

character:

Should be vigilant and brave, but also stable and serene. He is determined and assertive, and his "heads up, tails up" gesture shows enthusiasm and reason. The Scottish Terrier is friendly and gentle towards people and aggressive towards other dogs. He was also sometimes arrogant and powerful, earning himself the nickname "The Diehard".

FCI Criteria:

[body size]

A thick body with adequate bone mass. The main requirements are overall balance, symmetry, and nothing too exaggerated. Take into account height at withers, weight, body length, and head length. Both males and females should be about 10 inches tall at the withers. The length from withers to base of tail is about 11 inches. Generally, a well  -proportioned adult Scottish Terrier weighs about 19-22 pounds for males and 18-21 pounds for females.

[head]

The head appears long in proportion to the dog's entire body. Viewed from the side, the skull and muzzle should be in two planes parallel to each other. The skull should be long, of medium breadth, slightly arched and short crowned, with strong hair. When viewed from the side, the skull should appear flat. The stop is slight, but well defined, between the skull and muzzle, at eye level, allowing between the eyes to the eyebrows for the characteristic Scottish terrier expression. The skull should be smooth, with no protrusions or depressions, and the cheeks should be flat and neat. The muzzle is roughly equal in length to the skull, slightly tapering from stop to nose. The muzzle is set under the eyes and does not appear arrogant. The average man's hand should be just enough to hold a Scottish terrier's muzzle. Regardless of coat color, the nose is black and of moderate size, giving the impression that the upper jaw is slightly longer than the lower jaw. The teeth are large and neat, with a scissors bite or a pincer bite, the former being ideal. The jaws are square, flat and powerful. An overbite or overbite is a defect.

[Neck, Topline, and Body]

Neck of moderate length, strong, strong and muscular, meeting smoothly with shoulders. The neck should not be so short that it looks awkward. The body is moderately short, with well-spread ribs, followed by a short, strong loin, deep flanks and well-muscled hindquarters. Ribs are well-spread, extending from the spine to the sides, broad and strong, then curved downward and inward, giving them a heart-shaped cross-section. The topline is firm and level. The thorax should be broad and deep, between the forelegs. The chest should expand forward to the front of the legs and down to the bottom of the chest. The chest should not be flat or concave, it should fill exactly the depression in the palm of an adult man. The bottom point of the chest should be where a grown man's fist fits just below, with no or very little space. The tail is about 7 inches long, without docking. The tail is set high and held upright, it should be straight up or slightly forward, but not rolled over the back. The tail is stout at the base, tapering off and covered with short, stiff hair.

[Forequarters]

The shoulders are well integrated with the back, with a tight integration with the withers. The bones of the forelegs are very heavy, vertical or slightly curved, the elbows are close to the body, below the shoulder blades, and the forechest is clearly in front of it. The Scottish Terrier's elbows should not point outwards. The front paws should be larger than the hind paws, round, thick, compact, with strong toenails. The front paws should be pointed forward, but a slight "outside character" is acceptable. Dewclaws can be removed.

[hindquarters]

For a dog of this size, the thigh muscles should be well developed and powerful, the rear knee well flexed and very straight from the hock to the ankle. The hocks are positioned low and parallel to each other.

[Coat]

The undercoat is soft and dense. The coat needs to be trimmed to give the Scottish Terrier a clear profile. This dog needs to have an adequate amount of coat, and the texture and density of the coat determine its quality. The coat on the beard, legs, and underside of the body is longer and may be slightly softer than the coat on the body, but does not appear downy.

[color]

Black, wheaten with maybe other colored spots. It is normal for some black or spotted Scottish Terriers to have some white or silver hair on their coat. Only small white markings on the chest and jaw are allowed.

[Gait]

The Scottish Terrier has a very characteristic gait. Not a right-angled trot, nor a pacing like the long-legged breed. The front legs do not move in planes parallel to each other; to be precise, when striding, the front legs move slightly inward due to the wide and deep chest. Movement should be fluid, agile, and coordinated, with good extension of the forelegs and strong drive of the hindquarters. The movement of the hind legs is at right angles and accurately. When walking quickly, the hind knees and hocks should be flexed and the movement should be strong. The topline remains level and stable as the dog travels.
