Video: Watch Rico the Scottie win REserve Best in Show at Crufts 2010
It must be said that Yogi the Vizsla definitely resembles his handler.
Rico aka Filisite Brash Celebration, on the other hand, does not look at all like his owner/handler Valentine Popova, who is not the Olympic weightlifter of the same name.

Welcome to all the Russians visiting Scottie News, but there's something you need to know
Oh dear, Russian Scottish Terrier fans, I hate to be the bearer of bad news on such a celebratory occasion, but did you know you that you come from a country whose Prime Minister and ex-President Vladimir Putin has a sad history of disparaging Scotties?
Yes, although he keeps a secret poodle in the closet, Bad Vlad pretends small dogs are not suitable for macho men like himself.
Now, however, with Filisite Brash Celebration's precocious second-place showing at Crufts, the Scottie News thinks the time has come for Putin to apologize to Scottish Terriers and their owners the world over. He can start with young Rico, as he's known.
------------
Sadly, Putin is not the only famous and powerful man to shun "girly dogs." The Scottie News has had to out several others.
Russian Scottish Terrier Rico wins Reserve Best in Show at Crufts 2010
Officially, Rico's known as Filisite Brash Celebration.
He lost out to Yogi the Hungarian Viszla who took the top title.
Talk about multi-culti dog champs.
Photos and, no doubt, video to follow.

Photos of Filisite Brash Celebration (Rico), winner of the Terrier Group at Crufts 2010
The money shot.
The podium shots (from another show.)
The chilling-at-home shot.
Congratulations, Rico. Just one awkward question -- so, do you own one of those strange Russian Scottie suits?

Scottie wins terrrier group at Crufts 2010
It's CH Filicite Brash Celebration. The Scottish Terrier and Dog News is looking for a photo. Many thanks to Kate and Barney in London for the tip.
Update: We've found a photo, but there are issues with it in that we can't really see the dog so we'll keep on looking.

Sigh, New Yorker still can't tell Scotties from Westies
How many times can their fact checkers mix up two distinct dog breeds? They should have listened to the Scottish Terrier and Dog News last time we pointed out this mistake.

Did Scottish Terrier die from flea medication?
U.S. courts will decide whether Hartz Mountain Corp. is responisble for poisoning pets with its flea or tick treatments, which contain Pyrethrin, or a synthetic version of the chemical Pyrethroids.
In one lawsuit, "a man from California saw his Scottish Terrier, Duffy, die three days after he treated him with Hartz flea and tick drops. Rick Parsons took Duffy to the veterinarian’s facility because he did not appear well. Duffy died at the Vet's office that day and the Vet reportedly said the death was due to a 'reaction to the insecticide.'
The suit reportedly states that Parsons contacted Hartz, which reviewed the case and denied any responsibility, saying that the dog’s death was due to 'underlying health problems.' The suit goes on to state 'in 2008 alone, there were approximately 48,000 reports of adverse events from the spot-on or squeeze-on products including pyrethrins, Permethrin, or other pyrethroids.'”
