Scottish Terrier
puppies are playful and friendly though as adults
can be determined, stubborn and independent.
Scottish Terriers are more difficult to train but have a lot of
energy and love to dig and play ball games. Scotties may
not be best for families with young children and other
pets. However, given the proper training Scotties make
loyal pets and good watchdogs. The Scottish Terrier is
well-suited to apartment living as long as the dog is
given a regular walk. Scottish Terriers normally grow
to between 10 and 11 inches high and weigh between 18
and 23 pounds. Necessary grooming would include regular
brushing and occasional bathing/trimming. Common health
problems include Scottie cramp, Von Willebrand disease, elbow
and spinal complications and allergies. The
following videos illustrate several examples of Scottish
Terrier puppies.
