Is a Scottish Terrier Right for You? a a a r r r o o

If the dog you want is...

* A big, big dog in a small package

* Smaller than most breeds, heavy boned, short legged, classic and striking in appearance

* Confident, curious and playful, extremely loyal, more dignified than most other terrier breeds

* A non-shedding breed needing some (not excessive) exercise

* A surprisingly keen watchdog with a robust, crisp bark

* Intelligent, will not respond to teasing, nor forgive unkind treatment

* Definitely an indoor dog preferring to sleep with you in bed at night

A Scottish Terrier may be perfect for you.

If a dog you wouldn't want ...

* Does best with early and regular socialization and interaction with new people and animals

* Is strong willed, independent minded, thinks of you as an equal. A Scottie will always wonder "What's in it for me?"

* Has strong chewing, hunting and chasing instincts, will run away if not closely supervised, cannot swim

* May show aggression towards strangers including young children, other animals (in some lines)

* Requires regular bathing and grooming.

  A Scottish Terrier may not be the dog for you.
