Heather Reveller

Heather Reveller (1930-1941)  The dog that “had the most sensational show record of any Scottish Terrier ever exhibited in America,” according to the New York Times. Won “best in show” multiple times. As a finalist at Westminster in 1932, Time Magazine said the dog was “built like a midget plough horse.”  Heather Reveller was owned by mystery writer S.S. Van Dine (real name Willard H. Wright). Wright’s chauffeur would drive him out to Haworth, from Manhattan, to visit his Schraalenburgh Road kennels. Eventually Wright decided that breeding the country’s finest Scotties was too expensive and he switched to exotic fish.
