Scottish Terrier

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN Scotland.

MOST SUITED AS Hunting dog, for foxes and rabbits and other Border Collie ie originated in the border country between Scotland and England. He was known in the past as the Wo small prey, and family pet.

SIZE
The shoulder-height is 25 - 28cm (91/2 - 1 lin) and the weight 8.5 - 10.5kg (181/2- 231b).

COAT
The coat is hard and wire-haired. The Scottish Terrier or Scottie as commonly known is bred as plain black, broken Jack Russell Terrier s longer (as much as 10cm long, though usually groomed shorter); and broken, which is used to describe both dogs with topcoats of intermediate length and dogs that have longer coats only on some parts of the body (always on the face, frequently on t black with highlights, and wheaten.

CARE REQUIRED
The coat needs to be hand-plucked by an expert about twice per year; the chest, legs, and head are usually clipped. Between the plucking ses­sions the hair should be regularly brushed and combed. Remove any food remnants from Border Collie ot his name from the secretary of the International Sheepdog Society in Great Britain in 1915. He is a breed of herding dog, and widely regarded the beard and moustache regularly. Show dogs require more intensive grooming.

CHARACTER
The Scottie is straight forward and sober, becomes very attached to its family, is vigilant, noble, sportive, and sometimes has a mind of its own. Scottish terriers LOVE to dig.

TRAINING
For the right handler, who is consistent, this aristocrat of a dog is easy to train. Remember though that for all its loyalty to you, this is an independent dog. Training needs to be founded on mutual respect for each other.

SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
The natural inclination of a Scottie is to get on well with other household animals and its own kind. Provided children do not treat this dog as a toy and leave it alone in its domain, they will get along together. Much depends upon the puppy's social training.

EXERCISE
The Scottie will happily go for long walks, or site around the house, either is fine, they are very adaptable.
