Native Dogs Of Scotland

Having drawn the nine native dogs of Ireland, now it’s time to cross the Irish sea to Scotland.

These include some of the most popular dogs around today. They include some tiny terriers of course, but also some dogs which you may be surprised to find originated in Scotland.

Ok, deep breath, here they are:

Bearded Collie, Bloodhound, Border Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Golden Retriever, Gordon Setter, Rough CollieScottish Deerhound, Scottish Terrier, Shetland Sheepdog, Skye Terrier, Smooth Collie and the wonderful West Highland White Terrier.

There are other dogs from Scotland, but they are sadly now extinct or are newer breeds that are not fully recognised yet.

So over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be posting drawings of these beautiful beasties.
