Summary: An Excellent History of the Breed Book
Review: This 1998 book is a historical introduction to the West Highland White Terrier & is a reprint of the 1911 original by Holland Buckley, who was a turn-of-the-century canine expert. The history of the early Westie is very interesting for all lovers of the breed. There were many differences between today's Westie & the early Westie. This book tells the whole story of how & why they wanted to breed white dogs rather than the original brown; the early breeders; the first West Highland champions; the early sponsors of the dog--in fact the book is dedicated the Countess of Aberdeen who was a staunch supporter of the "little Highlander." As Buckley would say, "Breed them hardy, and breed them game, that they may ever uphold the reputation of their ancient home, the West Highlands of Scotland." As an added bonus, this book is a nice gift book with its plaid endpages & Westie bookmark! A 5 star gift!
