The Scottish Terrier (well-known as Scotties) were once called Broken-haired or Aberdeen Terriers and were registered under their current breed name in 1897. The other open page is of the well-known and loved Dalmatian which was bred early in the eighteenth century mainly as coach or carriage dogs for their abilities as fabulous guard dogs and also to run ahead of horse drawn conveyances to "clear the way".
