In general, terriers typically have wiry coats, which means they're much less prone to shedding than other kinds of dogs. The Scottish Terrier is a stubborn, determined, and very loyal dog. They have beautifully square heads with large, pointy ears, and their coats only need to be trimmed around twice a year.

Scotties are small in size but generally very muscular dogs — they were originally bred to help farmers hunt down rats, foxes, and other small animals.

While most people recognize Scottish Terriers as being black, they can also have cream or salt and pepper coats.

Scotties have hair rather than fur and make a lovely pet for dog-lovers with allergies.

Scottish Terriers are known for their political expertise — Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and George W. Bush all chose Scottish Terriers to be the most loyal and lovable dogs.
