West Highland White Terrier History:

The West Highland White Terrier, according to some of the breeds followers, originated at Poltalloch, Scotland, where they had been bred and maintained for more than 100 years. In 1916, Colonel Malcolm of Poltalloch said that his father and grandfather both kept them. It is probable that the lineage of the Malcolm dogs goes back to the time of King James I, who asked for some "earth-dogges". Years ago the breed was known as the Roseneath Terrier, also as the Poltalloch Terrier.
The name was officially changed to West Highland White Terrier on May 31, 1909.

The West Highland is all terrier - a large amount of Scotch spunk, determination,
and devotion crammed into a small body. Outdoors they are truly sporty, good hunters,
speedy, and cunning, with great intelligence. In the house they are all that can be desired
of a pet: faithful, understanding, and devoted, yet gay and lighthearted.
