About the Scottish Terrier

The Scottish Terrier is a small dog breed originating in Scotland. Adult dogs typically weigh 18 to 22 pounds and live 11 to 13 years. The breed is described as independent, dignified, bold, reserved-with-strangers.

Households wanting an independent, confident terrier and willing to commit to regular grooming or hand-stripping. Homes with free-roaming small pets, or owners expecting an outgoing, eager-to-please dog.

Adult Scottish Terriers need about 45 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 60 minutes. The coat is wire-coated with low shedding, and brushing every 2 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
