Scottish Terrier

The Scottish Terrier, affectionately known as the Scottie, is a feisty and independent dog breed that originated in Scotland. Known for their rugged nature and determination, they have earned the nickname "the Diehard." With a wiry outer coat and a soft, dense undercoat, they require regular grooming sessions. Scotties are alert, quick-moving, and vigilant, making them excellent watchdogs. They are loyal and playful with their family but can be territorial and standoffish towards strangers and other animals. Given proper training and socialization, Scottish Terriers can be loving companions, though they may pose challenges due to their strong-willed nature and high prey drive.
