The Westie was recognized in England by The Kennel Club as a separate
breed in
1907, and by the American Kennel Club in 1909. How the Skye
Terrier got to Scotland no one knows, Legend is that a Maltese and a
Poodle were shipwrecked on the Isle of Skye. Around the time the Spanish
Armada met its doom.
 The
name 'Sierra' is a Latin word for Terrier, which means earth.
These breeds were, in the old days, called "earth dogs" because when
chasing Rabbits they burrowed deep into they're holes, an expression
known to hunters as "going to earth."
The Westie was also known as the Pittenweem, Roseneath or
Poltallock Terrier.
