Scottish Terrier - A very feisty and sturdy Scottish breed from the Highlands of Scotland.

The "Scottie" was also known as the Aberdeen Terrier a reflection of its old and mixed Celtic background. The dog that we know today was developed towards the end of the nineteenth century.

This breed is always thought of as black but can also have a creamy brown or brindle coat.

His image is of a dour Scot but he is affectionate and cheerful and is happy to curl up on his favourite chair and will rouse himself at the slightest sound.
