Owning
The Scottish Terrier is absolutely dependable and loyal, but may sometimes appear aloof and independent. The Scottie is very sensitive and will make a good pet for someone who understands his fiesty nature.
Characteristics
The Scottish Terrier is a small, compact, short-legged, sturdily-built dog of good bone and substance. His head is long in proportion to his size. He has a hard, wiry, weather-resistant coat and a thick-set, cobby body which is hung between short, heavy legs. These characteristics, joined with his very special keen, piercing, ''varminty'' expression, and his erect ears and tail are salient features of the breed. The Scottish Terrier's bold, confident, dignified aspect exemplifies power in a small package.
Did You Know
The Scottish Terrier was bred in Scotland as a fierce hunter of foxes and badgers. The first show to have a class for the Scottish Terrier was in 1860. John Naylor is credited with being the first to introduce the Scottie to this country. The first registered Scottie in America was ''Dake'' born Sept. 15, 1884 |
