 Eleven Westie's among the first pure white, Bred by the Malcolm family in
the late nineteenth century, Pose for the camera.Roseneath was the estate
name of the Duke of Argyll from whom James 1st had requested the 'Earth
doggies' Poltalloch was the home of the
MacCallum
(Malcolm) family who were also
breeders of this dog.
Breeding of the West Highland White Terrier was not, however, confined to the
efforts of Colonel Malcolm. Dr. Flaxman of Fifeshire also played a part in the
early development of the breed. Another breeder, George Clarke, developed a white
variety known as the Roseneath Terrier.
It is the Malcolm family that is credited with originating the
'White Cairn' as it was known those days. In 1909 at the Westminster
Kennel Club in New York City a West highland white was shown under the
classification of Roseneath Terriers.
