This dog was also known in the early days as Catcleugh, Hindlee or pepper and mustard terriers. It is said that Sir Walter Scott’s characters of Dandie Dinmont and his dogs in his 1814 book, Guy Mannering, were based on a real life person named James Davidson, who had a penchant for naming all of his dogs either Pepper or Mustard along with an identifying adjective.
