TREEING FEIST
Official U.K.C. Breed Standard
Copyright 2000, United Kennel Club, Inc.
Revised January 1, 2004
History
The word "feist" is an ancient one referring to a small, often noisy, dog. Like the Cur breeds, the Feist breeds were developed in the rural South by breeders who needed low-maintenance dogs to hunt small game and to eliminate vermin. Feists were often the result of crosses between hunting hounds and terriers. Today's Treeing Feist is the result of generations of breeding for performance and it is still primarily used to hunt squirrel, although they are also used to hunt raccoon, rabbits and flushing game birds.
The Treeing Feist was recognized by U.K.C. on November 1, 1998. |

WEST HIGHLAND WHITE TERRIER
Official U.K.C. Breed Standard
Copyright 1990, United Kennel Club, Inc
Revised January 1992
History
The early vermin-catching dogs indigenous to Scotland, collectively known as the "Terriers of Scotland," developed from common root stock and eventually separated into defined breeds. These include the Dandie Dinmont, Scottish, Skye and Cairn Terriers. This, too, is the origin of the West Highland White Terrier, which is thought to have originally been part of the Cairn breed.
The West Highland White Terrier was recognized by the United Kennel Club in 1919. |
