What is the Scottish Terrier like ?
The Scottish Terrier is a small, active breed of dog originating from Scotland. They are known for their spunky, playful personality and thick, soft coat.
These dogs are loyal and protective of their owners, and are a good choice for families with children. However, they can also be reserved with strangers and other animals, so it is important to socialise them from an early age.
Despite their small size, Scottish Terriers are very strong and active dogs, and need a good amount of daily exercise and activity. With their soft, easy-care coat, the Scottish Terrier is a friendly and affectionate companion for any home.
