There they were used by the crofters to keep down such vermin as foxes and otters, and their small size and gameness were invaluable in pursuing their quarry into their underground retreats. The first name for the breed was "short-haired Skye Terriers" to distinguish it from the then established Skye Terrier, but this created so much opposition from lovers of the older breed that the new breed was eventually given its present name. In the Highlands these small terriers are still used on vermin, but in England they are kept almost entirely as show dogs or companions."Please note our policy of FREE Shipping and Insurance worldwide on all orders of $10.00 and above.
