As a Fnalist at Westminster in 1932, Time Magazine said the dog was “built like a midget plough horse.” Heather Reveller was owned by mystery writer S.S. Van Dine (real name Willard H. Wright).
“The color of the Scottish Terrier has been the object of fad changes since the breed was first recognized and exhibited Initially, color was of no concern to breeders and owners, so long as the dog could do his work. In those days, the color of our dogs was generally described as sandy or fawn, occasionally red or grizzled, rarely black.”
