Living with a Scottish Terrier is like living with a pint-sized statesperson. They’re dignified, determined, and unapologetically independent. They’re not here to please the crowd—they’re here to do things their way. But once they love you, they love you with a quiet intensity that’s impossible to resist.
They’re bold but not brash. Loyal, but not clingy. They walk through the world with purpose—and expect you to keep up. If you’re looking for an obedient lapdog, look elsewhere. If you respect a strong will in a small frame, you’ve met your match.
• Confident and brave\n• Not overly affectionate\n• Strong prey drive\n• Needs early socialization\n• High grooming needs
Scotties do best in calm, adult households where routines are strong and respect goes both ways. They’re fine in small homes or apartments as long as they get daily walks and stimulation. No chaos, no drama, no toddlers.
They need their space—and a soft place to land when they’re done running the show.
I’m small, self-assured, a bit dramatic, and dressed like I own a law firm. I won’t chase you, but I will challenge you. Let’s take quiet walks, ignore the neighbors, and build a bond based on mutual respect (and treats). We'll get along as long as you listen to me.
• Not a lap dog\n• High grooming upkeep\n• May chase small animals\n• Doesn’t love chaos or baby energy\n• Very dignified demeanor
• Stripping comb and pin brush\n• Elevated food bowls\n• Interactive toys to beat boredom\n• Harness for daily walks\n• Breathable crate with private vibe
Scottish Terriers are confident, classy companions for experienced dog owners who appreciate independence and personality. They’re not for everyone—but if you get them, they’ll give you loyalty wrapped in style and smarts.
