Scottish Terrier

This active breed is known to be independent and self-assured. It has been called the Diehard because of its rugged nature and endless determination. Sometimes seen as an aloof breed, it is actually very loyal to its family. It can have a temper, but is also quite sensitive. The Scottish terrier makes a great watchdog due to its tendency to bark and its reserved manner with strangers. It is a fearless breed that may be aggressive around other dogs unless introduced at an early age. The Scottie is prone to dig.
