Introduction

With its distinctive silhouette and bold personality, the Scottish Terrier, affectionately known as the "Scottie," is a small but sturdy highlander breed. Recognizable by its wiry coat, erect ears, and often black, brindle or wheaten coloration, this breed is as alert as it is tenacious. Scotties possess a dignified demeanor, are naturally reserved with strangers, and require regular activity to keep their spirited temperament in check. While they adapt well to various living situations, they cherish a good 'dig' in the garden and spirited play sessions.
