Scottish Terrier

Country of Origin: Scotland

Many popular breeds of terriers originate from Scotland and the Scottish Terrier is likely the most notable of them all. Although the Scottish Terrier is relatively small it has a very muscular body and can run quickly when necessary. A full-grown Scottish Terrier usually weighs approximately 20 pounds. These terriers have a lot of energy which is one of the reasons they are so popular. Despite their small size, the Scottish Terrier is known for being a stubborn dog. To avoid this behaviour it is important to be firm with them from an early age, otherwise it is difficult or impossible to correct this behavior afterwards when they are full-grown.
