About Scottish Terrier Dogs

Affectionately known as the "Scottie dog", the Scottish Terrier is a working terrier that hails from the Scottish Highlands, and was once a member of the "Scotch Terrier Group", which included a variety of terrier types. This group underwent renaming in the mid 1800's by British dog fanciers in an attempt to differentiate between the various breeds, and the Scottie was given the name " Hard-Haired Scotch Terrier". Two years later, the breed was renamed the Scottish Terrier and continues to carry that name today.

Thinking of adding a Scottish Terrier puppy to your family? Playful, loveable and very loyal, the Scottie dog makes and excellent house dog and family pet. He also makes a great watchdog, and will eagerly alert his owners to the presence of intruders. Scotties can be aggressive with other dogs, so special care should be taken to avoid "canine disagreements". Scotties love the great outdoors, and should be given at least one brisk walk each day.

The Scottie is a sturdy, low-set terrier that stands about 10 inches at the shoulder and weighs from 18 to 22 pounds. It's outer coat is hard and wiry with a dense, softer undercoat. The coat comes in colors of are grey, brindle, black or wheaten. To keep the trim, "Scottie" look, regular grooming is required, although many owners prefer to clipper their Scotties to soften the hard-textured coat and reduce grooming time and expense. Scotties are well-suited to almost any accommodations, whether country or city, apartment or acreage, provided that regular daily walks are offered.
