Excerpt from Scottish and Irish Terriers The perfect Scottie's head is long, but broad across the skull, with a stout muzzle and a large black nose that sticks out beyond the line of the lips, making him look pig-jawed, though in reality his lower teeth are even with the upper. His head looks a size too big for his body to the novice, but he has plenty of brain room and the biggest, strongest, whitest teeth of any terrier, barring the giant of the race, the Aire dale. His ears should be small, V-shaped, and erect. The Standard allows semi-prick cars, like those of the Collie, but Fashion has fav ored the erect, and the semi-pricked ears are never seen in the show ring. His eyes should be like shoe-buttons, bright as live coals, set wide apart, and deep sunk, for a large, light, pop eye ruins his clever, varmity expression.
