Welcome to the West Highland Terrier Picture Page.
The first West Highland White Terrier clubs were formed in 1905. This is also the same year when breeds like the Skye Terrier and Cairn Terrier that were in the past was classified as Small Highland Working Terriers gained their own individual status.
However, it appears that in the late 1800’s, there lived a white Scottish Terrier named Scottie, a strain that was bred by Colonel Malcolm of Poltalloch where the name Poltalloch Terrier was derived; they were also referred to as Roseneath Terriers.
