Scottish Terriers have long been popular in America with several U.S. presidents claiming these compact hunters as part of their families. Scottish Terriers need attentive socialization if they’re to be around children and other dogs. Otherwise, this breed is best suited for a serious and solitary household. Their bold and somewhat-serious nature keeps them in demand as watchdogs, hunting companions, and lifelong friends. This dog is independent and doesn’t need your attention, but you can be sure that your Scottish Terrier will quickly become attached and remain loyal.
