Scottish Terriers

Your faithful pal on life's highway.


What's their personality like?
The Scottish Terrier is a short-legged dog with a lot of personality! They were bred to be working dogs who helped farmers by taking care of pests like squirrels or foxes, so these dogs have a very strong prey drive. Scottish Terriers are very loyal and love their families, but they have an aloof temperament with strangers. This makes them excellent watchdogs. They're strong-willed and fierce... At one point, they were speculated to have originated from bears instead of dogs. Additionally, they are very intelligent and do well with training. But they must be treated gently because they are very sensitive.

What do they look like?
A Scottish Terrier is a small breed of dog that is short-legged and with a distinctive body shape. Their bodies are square, and they have thick legs. Their ears are always perked up, and they have almond-shaped eyes. The Scottish Terrier's wiry outer coat of fur is thick and waterproof, making them better suited for colder temperatures. The colors of their outer coat range from black, grayish-black, and wheaten. A wheaten Scottish Terrier may have fur that is anything from straw to almost white, making the dogs look a lot like the West Highland White Terriers. Their signature look includes long fur that sweeps the floor.

How cute are they?
Scottish Terriers are absolutely adorable dogs. Their small body size, soft wiry fur, perky ears, and bright eyes make the Scotties look unbelievably cute. They are also an intelligent breed of dog and very independent. They have a lot of personality and a high energy level. These dogs are also very gentle with children and the elderly, which, along with the Scottish Terrier size, makes them even cuter!
