This is supposedly an origami Scottish Terrier but it doesn’t look very Scottie like to the Scottie News.
But what exactly is wrong with this Scottie dog?
We think this is a far better example of the Origami breed.

Whimsical Scottish Terriers
Okay, this is a bit complicated but bear with us. Alison Pace, author of Pug Hill, has just written a new book, City Dog, about her West Highland Terrier, Carlie.
Eileen Cook, a writer who has both a Westie and a Scottie, is a huge Pace fan so she got her Westie Bailey to interview the real-life Carlie, who served as inspiration for the book.
Neither Anderson Cooper nor Katie Couric have anything to do with it all. Phew!

The Scottish Terrier and Dog News is now coming to you from its new brand world headquarters in Toronto, Canada.
Thanks to uneverchooz at Flickr for this latest sketch of his Scottie dog. The last one we featured had Groovy staring down a bug.
Thanks too to all the readers who have sent photos of their Scottish Terriers in the past week or two. We will have a big roundup of reader dog photos in the very near future. And it’s not too late to send in your dog.
Happy Labour Day — the unofficial end of summer — from the Scottie News.

This wonderful Scottie dog cake comes from Baxter the Scottish Terrier’s third birthday party. We are fervently hoping his owner, who runs the Honeycomb Cottage blog, will stop by and offer up the recipe and maybe Fedex us some cake samples too.
Failing that, we’d settle for some grooming tips since she is not only an excellent cake baker but also — wouldn’t you just know it? — a DIY Scottie groomer. In fact, the Scottish Terrier and Dog News would like to know why these skills so often go hand in hand. Are the cake baking and dog grooming genes on the same chromosome? Any of our readers on the human genome project?
But we digress. Head over to Honeycomb Cottage to see not just cake and grooming photos but also Baxter dressed as Sherlock Holmes. And then you can follow the links — that the Scottie News is completely ashamed to have missed — to Sweet Cottage Dreams and see Duhgall the Scottie’s first birthday party complete with bagpipers.
And while we’re on the subject of Scottie birthday parties, how can we forget this.
Happy Birthday to everyone no matter when it might be.
Update: Here are the instructions for the cake.

Seventy-year-old Anne Gregg Mozingo has owned eight Scottish Terriers over the years and collected more than 4,000 items of Scottie dog memorabilia. Myrtle Beach Online has the story and a slide show.

So, admit it, you thought that a website called the Scottish Terrier and Dog News was already pretty specialized. Well, yes and no. Scottie News discovered today that there’s a whole sub-culture out there of decorators and romantic home-lovers with Scotties.
Check out Lavender Fields and Mr. Tweed’s Whimsy and then get back to us to let us know if you think Mr. Tweed could possibly be straight. According to Lavender Fields, his owner Pat says she named the business after him “because because he has always shown an interest in wonderful fabrics and tapestries – and how luxurious they feel.” Hmmm.

Scottish Terrier-owning blogger, Julie of Bricolage, is picking up her new wheaten Scottie puppy this weekend and in anticipation of the big day, she has a nostalgic post on Children’s Scottie books complete with lots of fabulous illustrations. The books featured are Angus and the Cat, Angus and the Ducks, and Angus Lost, all by Marjorie Flack, as well as Jock and Jill, illustrated by Morgan Dennis and written by Maida Huneker.
The Angus books are all available on Amazon, but Jock and Jill, alas, is not.

What do you all think? Giant Schnauzer or Black Russian Terrier?

Svadilfari writes on Flickr: “This picture of a Scottish terrier and a West Highland white terrier playing on a see saw comes from a 1953 ad for Black & White Scotch Whisky. I cropped the ad so that only the image is showing.”
See video of real life Scottish Terriers at the playground in 2008.
