 The Black and White Whisky Dog, The show development of the Westie lagged somewhat behind its development as
a ground hunter. In England, the first dog show having a classification for
terriers was held in Birmingham City UK in 1860.
The first Scottish show that included
terriers was held in 1871 in Glasgow. In 1899, at the Crystal Palace, a white
Scottish Terrier was among the winners and at the same show, Dr. Flaxman entered
a team of his dogs.
The first show where West Highland White Terriers were
classified separately was in 1904 at the Scottish Kennel Club Show at Edinburgh.
The West Highland White Terrier Club of America was formed and admitted to
the AKC in 1909
The Scottish or Aberdeen terrier or "Scotty" has inspired more design and decoration than
any other breed
The most famous appearance is as one half, along with a West Highland White
advertising Black and White whisky. In some European countries both breeds are known as 'Whisky dogs '
