Short Scottish Terrier description:
The Scotties are low to the ground long dogs with distinctive beard, long eyebrows and wiry coat. The average height of Scottish Terrier should be between 10-11 inches which is 25-28 cm and their weight should be between 18-22 pounds which is 8-10 kg.
If you are thinking about getting a Scottie, you should be prepared for a independent dog, that will be affectionate towards you, but he will be very suspicious towards strangers and he will probably not be the biggest friend with other dogs. You should also have high fence which is burried underground, because Scottish Terriers have tendencies to run away after squirrels, cats or birds. And be prepared for barking, as all terriers, Scotties are vocal dogs.
They are terriers, so it is not that hard to guess, what was their original purpose. Scottish terriers were bred to chase and hunt foxes, badgers, rabbits, rats and other small game. They were bred to burrow and go to the ground. They chased the animals living in the dnes.

What a hero, they're great dogs, best breed I've come across. My Angus is a big softy but he's never backed down when some other inadequate jealous mutt has a go at him. He doesn't bark at any dog or cat, so cool...but I'm sure he'd stand his ground if push comes to shove. Scotties rule!!!!!

I was at the Scottish Festival in Philadelphia, PA, USA, with my Scottish Terrier. There was a big sign that said no dogs. A lady complained to a police officer that I had a dog there. The police officer, in full kilt, looked at my little girl, who was also wearing a kilt, then said to the lady "That's not a dog, that's a Scottie", and walked away.

My sister was walking her standard poodle and our mom's late scottie, Mac. They came across a pair of rambunctious lab puppies that wanted to play, but they spooked the poodle, who promptly turned around and ran face first into a tree. Mac tuned in the puppies and gave them a good scolding for scaring his best friend! (And, seriously, they were a hilarious pair! Like Gimli and Legolas!)

I own two, a black and a wheaten Scottish terrier. They replace another Scottish terrier I owned. After our first Scottish terrier died we decided to get another breed so as to forget the painful loss of our dear Oreo. But after looking at so many breeds we quickly realized that no other breed was ever going to satisfy us and be as lovable as the Scottish Terrier. There was simply no other better breed.

I’ve owned different breeds and Scotties are hands down the best. One distinct characteristic is you can’t scold them like other breeds when they misbehave. Their feelings get hurt like I’ve never seen in other breeds. Be firm with them but no scolding. Also, they don’t have a flight mechanism when challenged. They will literally fight to the death regardless of the size of the challenger, thus the “diehard” breed. Mine gets along with strangers, loves children and likes about half of the dogs he meets. He’s a great companion, loves to play, super cute and very loving.

I've had 3 Scottys and they all only bark to let me know if someones coming to the door. Otherwise they are very quiet dogs, unlike yorkies, chihuahuas, and other small breeds.

My step-dad and mom's scotties are under a year old and they live in the country. Those doggos know the sound of the motion sensor alarm on the driveway and give a good bark when it goes off, then go right back to their business! I would like to see any other dogs that smart!

Oh my god! My sister has a 13 year old JRT (Sheena) and our parents had gotten a scottie pup (Mac) before sis moved out. The brother-sister dynamic was hilarious! If Mac wanted to play, but Sheena wanted to nap, Mac would find one of Sheena's toys and squeak it right in front of her, taunting her. If Sheena had enough of Mac, she would bark to go outside, go a step out the door, let Mac run out, all "Tally-Ho!" into the yard, then swoop back in the house and look up at us like "Close the door! Don't let him back in!"

I had a Scotty I'd rescued from a puppy mill. She was my best pal for 17 years she bonded with my youngest daughter but when my daughter wasn't around she never left my side. She did run a lot, one time I was trying to catch her and had to use my car to go after her and I clocked her going 45 mph. She was definitely friendly with other dogs though. Made it tough when my grand-doggy came to visit!

My Scotty was the best dog I ever had. Very hard worker and a lover. He was protective of me and the rest of the pack. I had Bouviers at the same time and my Scottie ruled the pack. Excellent judge of character too. He was a true Scotsman up to the very end and so brave. I miss him and its been 7yrs. Godspeed Mr. McDoogle. Mommy loves you.

It's been said "we don't own a Scottish Terrier, they own us". I say, "it's a Scottish Terrier World and they allow us to live in it". Having my third Scottie, I still love the breed. 5/2024 Update: Unfortunately I had to put my sweet Maggie to rest. She was 17 years old and we spent many happy hours and adventures together. Miss her like crazy, she was a good girl.
