Scottish Terrier Puppies 

A Scotland native, the Scottish Terrier has become a favorite of kings across Europe and most recently of First Lady Laura Bush. The Scottie was used by farmers to keep their land pest free. The breed is playful and inquisitive and is often the family watchdog and nanny.

Scottish Terriers have a weather resistant, wiry, hard outer coat with an undercoat of soft dense fur. Regular grooming twice a week is important to keep the Scotties coat tangle free. The breed’s coat comes mostly in black but the dog is also seen in brindle, gray, sandy and wheaten.

The breed is intelligent and will not hastily make friends. The Scottie does have an independent streak and can be difficult to handle around rabbits, squirrels, and some cats, due to their natural hunting instinct.

The Scottish Terrier must be socialized early in life other wise they will not accept other dogs or cats and can become aggressive toward other animals.

This dog does well in any living environment but will need room to run.  The Scottie does not tolerate overly active young children. Scottish Terriers make great watchdogs as they are concerned mainly with their family's safety and don't tend to bark with out cause.

Training the Scottie in agility and obedience is done best with love and praise. The breed thrives on human contact and can be destructive when that contact is deprived.
