The Little “Diehard” Dog:
D Dog Fan | January 14th, 2008
That’s right! This little dog was nickamed “Diehard”…as far back as the 19th century. A certain Earl of Dumbarton, who lived in Scottland was an avid fan of this little Terrier breed. He had a huge pack of them and noticing time and time again, how brave and courageous this litte dog was -irrrespective of its size- named them lovingly: Diehards. The Earl went as far as naming his Regiment after this little dog breed as well. They were called the Dumbarton Diehards, giving inspiration to the whole Regiment. The dog became a mascot for the Earl as well as for his Regiment. Curious, courageous and intelligent, the Scottish Terrier’s middle name is most definately: “Diehard”.
