As the ‘Monopoly token’ Scottish Terrier records lowest ever numbers and more native breeds than ever enter ‘At Watch’ list, Faye Winter takes a trip round the diverse Discover Dogs area, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary at the NEC Birmingham this...
The iconic Scottish Terrier, a beloved British breed and recognisable mascot for a wealth of well-known brands, is facing a worrying future after recording their lowest numbers since records began, placing them on The Kennel Club’s ‘At Watch’ list.
These low numbers mean that, for the second time in their history, the Terrier breed has been added to The Kennel Club’s ‘At Watch’ list, which monitors breeds with between 300-450 puppy registrations a year. Those with less than 300 puppy births annually are recorded on the organisation’s Vulnerable Native breed list – devised to highlight those British and Irish native breeds which could be at risk of disappearing from our streets and parks.
Despite their dwindling numbers, the Scottish Terrier has won Best in Show at Crufts twice, nearly a century apart – in 1929, and 2015. There will be 108 vying for the top dog title at the event this year, which takes place next month, while both the Pointer and Rough Collie have more than 200 dogs set to compete, placing them both in the top 15 breed entries at Crufts 2024.
Three other British breeds have entered the ‘At Watch’ list for the first time – the Pointer, Rough Collie and Wire Fox Terrier, while the Cairn Terrier has also rejoined the list, meaning there are now more breeds classed as ‘At Watch’ and ‘Vulnerable’ than ever before. Bill Lambert, spokesperson for The Kennel Club, said: “The Scottish Terrier has been such an iconic and recognisable breed in the UK for decades, and means so much to so many different people, so these latest figures are really worrying.
