Scottish Breed Dogs

The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes fourteen breeds as being of Scottish origin.

  The Herding/Working group includes sheepdogs, guidedogs, and watchdogs. Bearded Collie, Border Collie, Collie (Rough), Collie (Smooth), and the Shetland Sheepdog all belong in this group and have, in many ways, set the standard of ability for other breeds to attain.

Hound group includes hunting dogs that trail by sight or scent, i.e. sighthounds or scenthounds. The Scottish Deerhound, a sighthound bred to hunt stag, is a fine example of the group. Retired racing greyhounds make "greyt" pets.

Dogs of the Gun Dog/Sporting group accompany hunters after feathered game. They track it, point to it, flush it, and retrieve the dead prey. The Golden Retriever and the Gordon Setter belong in this group.

Terrier group includes dogs that "go to ground." The name is from the Latin, terra, meaning earth. Good terriers must have good feet, good teeth, and a strong jaw. They hunt burrowing animals such as fox, badger, weasel, hedgehog, and rats. The Border Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Scottish Terrier, Skye Terrier, and the West Highland White Terriers (Westie) are all Scottish Terriers.

Scottish Diaspora Dogs, Scottish-Canadian: One of the most interesting and skilled retriever dogs in the world is the Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever. These dogs are registered as a specific breed by the Canadian Kennel Club, but not by the AKC.

Scottish Diaspora Dogs, Scottish-American: The McNab is the rarest of all Scottish-related dog breeds. Bred as a cattle herding dog in Northern California in the middle of the last century by Scottish merchant Alexander McNab, this dog is still used by the cattle and sheep ranchers of Mendicino County, California, and surrounding areas.
