I have myself seen good specimens belonging to Ross-shire, to Skye, and at Ballachulish on Loch Leven, so that, as it is a breed with a long pedigree and not an invented breed of the present day, I thought it right to dissociate it from the name of Poltalloch ; but I find that many, perhaps better judges than my- self, think that that was a mistake, because there are some who claim that any white terrier born in the West High- lands may be called a West Highland White Terrier, though not a Poltalloch Terrier.
