Popularly known as “Scotties,” the Scottish Terrier is an independent and strong-willed dog breed. It is a small, sturdily built terrier with short legs and a wiry outer coat. While Scotties form strong attachments with people, they are wary of strangers. Due to their strong hunting instinct, Scotties often chase animals they perceive as prey (even larger dogs). So, it’s best to keep this cantankerous pooch on a leash.
