Scottish Terrier

An iconic and unmistakable breed with a distinctive silhouette, the Scottish Terrier — affectionately known as the Scottie — is a compact, sturdy terrier originally bred in the Scottish Highlands to hunt badgers, foxes, and vermin. They are independent, dignified, and sometimes aloof with strangers, possessing a quiet confidence and a stubborn streak that has earned them the reputation of being the most cat-like of the terrier breeds. Their wiry, weather-resistant coat, upright ears, and trademark beard give them a distinguished, almost regal bearing.
