Scottish Terriers are a
breed of
dog best known for
their distinctive profile and their die-hard spirit.
Appearance
A Scottish Terrier, or Scottie, is a small but resilient
terrier.
Scotties are fast and have a muscular body, often appearing to be barrel chested.
Its traditional grooming is shaggy-to-the-ground. The usual coat color ranges
from dark gray to jet black. Scotties with Wheaten (straw to nearly
white) coats sometimes occur, but should not be confused with the
Wheaten Terrier or
West Highland White Terrier.
History
They were originally bred in
Scotland
(their first name was the
Aberdeen
Terrier) about 1700, but had achieved their final size and shape by 1890.
Scotties are natural "diggers", like other terriers, whose name derives from the
same root as "terre", French for "earth". Their nickname is "little diehard"
from
James III of England, the King descended from the Scottish line.
