About the Scottish Terrier

Although Scottish Terriers are recognisable for their characteristic profile, their alert, spirited temperament and their confident attitude is just as distinctive.

Scottish Terriers are hard-working dogs with a strong prey drive. These dogs are alert by nature and reserved around strangers, making them excellent watchdogs.
