3. MAC’S MYSTERY MUTT

The dog is an old terrier dating back to the 1700s originating from the

border area between England and Scotland. The breed may have been

developed from the Skye Terrier and the now extinct Scotch Terrier (not to

be confused with today's Scottish Terrier. The breed is a low to the ground,

longer than he is tall, little dog. The large head has a topknot that is in

proportion to the body. The skull is broad between the ears, gradually

tapering to the eyes. The muzzle is deep, with a well defined stop. The large

teeth meet in a scissors bite. The moderately, large nose and the lips are

dark in color. The large, round, wide-set eyes come in dark hazel with dark

eye rims. Their ears are pendant, set low and wide, hanging close to the

cheeks. The legs are short with the back legs being a little longer than the

front legs Coat colors come in pepper (dark bluish black to a light silvery gray) or

mustard (reddish brown to a pale fawn). Mustard puppies are born with a

dark brown coat which lightens into varying shades of red when it reaches

an adult. Pepper puppies are born black and tan, that silvers later in life.

Pepper coats have a silver topknot and mustard color coats have a cream

colored topknot.

The dog makes a great companion dog, affectionate and fun-loving. Lively,

bold, brave, independent and intelligent. The dog is good for apartment life.

They are fairly active but a small yard will do.This breed is intelligent but

not particularly easy to train since it has a curious nature and a mind of its

own. It can be very difficult to overcome the hunting instinct and train the

dog to come when called. Early socialisation is required in order for it to

learn to get along with cats and other dogs. Socialisation will also help it overcome its natural wariness with strangers. Needs to be walked daily.
