The overly confident short legged Scottish Terrier has a wiry dense coat, complete with a beard and eyebrows that accentuate its sturdy and stunning features. Bred for chasing vermin, foxes, and badgers, this terrier exhibits that same fearless determination in his everyday life. With an alert yet dignified expression, showcasing independence and courage, the Scottie is small in body but big in personality. Smart but with a stubborn streak, the Scottish Terrier demonstrates devotion toward its family and is known as a devilish clown with antics that make his devoted people laugh out loud. In typical terrier fashion, the Scottie has big dog attitude in a small body and likes to take charge. He does best in a home with consistency and leadership. The coat sheds minimally and is easily maintained with regular grooming sessions to prevent matting. Exercise needs are minimal but boredom needs to be prevented by including the breed in family activities and puzzle games along with the much appreciated games of fetch.
