A little about the Scottish Terrier
The Scottish Terrier is one of the most well-loved and distinctive breeds. Bred in Scotland in the 1800s, the small, powerful terrier is keen for adventure and full of character. Whilst it can be robust, independent, and wary of strangers and other animals, it is incredibly loyal to its family.
