If you identified the image at the left as the “paisley” pattern, you’re half way to identifying any of the breeds associated with it.
Paisley Terrier
The Paisley Terrier, though now extinct, was instrumental in the developement of the Skye Terrier (which some sources maintain was a variety of the Paisley Terrier) as well as the Silky Terrier and Yorkshire Terrier. Its origins were found in the lowlands of Scotland where it took the name for the place in which it was bred (a center of the weaving industry), but it was occasionally called the Clydesdale Terrier, Glasgow Terrier, Show Skye Terrier, and Pet Skye Terrier, as well, possibly because Skye Terriers were also bred in the district of Clydesdale and the town of Paisley, a suburb of Glasgow.
The long, silky coat for which it was known was said to have taken hours to groom. It’s reported that at dog shows, Paisley Terriers were typically placed on a box so that the full length of their coats could be admired. That amazing coat was passed along to the aforementioned breeds, but sadly for the breed, the Paisley came to be overshadowed by the overwhelming popularity of the Yorkie, Silky and Skye and eventually vanished forever as a breed.
