Breed DescriptionThe Scottish Terrier, known to most Scots as the Scottie Dog is a lovable dog, full of character, playful and friendly as a puppy whom grows up to be loyal to its family. At times a grown Scottie can develop mood swings and become snappy with its owners, this is not present in all Scottish Terriers. The Scottie Dog, although small makes a great watchdog, they can be stubborn to train so a firm hand must be taken as failure to do so will result in the Scottish Terrier running the house. This breed does not respond well to correction, so praise when training is imperative. The Scottish Terrier has very little is any time for humans out-with their family and tends to favour one or two member more than others. Scotties, love to dig, bark and enjoy walks and playing with balls. The breed as a whole is best suited to a family with older children and make good house pets.
