Breed Information

Overview

The Scottish Terrier is the definition of a fearless little sparkplug. Small in stature but large in voice and heart, they will be an alert and effective watchdog and surely ward off intruders or even startle the occasional Fed Ex man. The Scottie will love your kids, family, and friends and be a loyal companion. They are generally friendly with other dogs, but will have no issues giving a random cat a good chase - it's just what Terriers do. The Scottish Terrier can be a bit stubborn and feisty at times, and is known to be one of the most determined breeds out there when he focuses in on something.

The Scottish Terrier, nicknamed the "Scotland Kid" and also known as the Aberdeen Terrier, is one sturdy and valiant terrier. A popular choice over the years at the Westminster Kennel Club Show, last winning Best in Show in 2010, the hypoallergenic Scottish Terrier was first recognized by the AKC in 1885. One of five terrier breeds originating from Scotland (Cairn, Skye, Dandie Dinmont, and West Highland), the history of this dog breed is a long one although not fully traceable.

The Scottie has left a mark in pop culture as well. The dog breed has been the "First Dog" of the United States twice, once for President Franklin D. Roosevelt and again for Ronald Reagan. And, how can we forget his role in an all-time favorite Disney Film, playing Jock in Lady and the Tramp?
