| About the painting - by Daniela Ria:
West Highland White Terrier in 1800 golf clothes. Commonly known as Westies, the West Highland White Terrier are a breed of dog known for their personality and beautiful coat. The breed was developed from the cooperation of two Scottish gentlemen in the 1800s, Colonel Edward Donald Malcolm and his kin of Poltalloch, and the 8th Duke of Argyll (Chieftan of Clan Campbell). It may have taken as long as a hundred years of selective breeding to produce all the desired qualities. |
