Scottish Terrier

The Scottish Terrier, often called the "Scottie," is a small, sturdy dog breed known for its distinctive appearance—compact body, erect ears, and a wiry, black or brindle coat. Originally bred in Scotland for hunting and guard duties, they are confident, brave, and independent, yet loyal to their families. Scotties are intelligent and alert, making good watchdogs, but they can be reserved or stubborn with strangers. They require regular grooming and enjoy daily exercise. Overall, they are spirited companions with a dignified presence, well-suited for owners who appreciate their unique character and history.
