The Scottish Terrier (also known as the Aberdeen Terrier), popularly called the Scottie, is a breed of dog. It is one of five breeds of terrier that originated in Scotland, the other four being the modern Skye, Cairn, Dandie Dinmont, and West Highland White Terrier. Scotties are territorial, alert, quick moving and feisty, perhaps even more so than other terrier breeds. The breed is known to be independent and self-assured, playful, intelligent and has been nicknamed the ‘Diehard’ because of its rugged nature and endless determination. Scotties, while being described as very loving, have also been described as stubborn. They tend to be very loyal to their family and are known to attach themselves to one or two people. Scottish Terrier can make a good watchdog due to its tendency to bark only when necessary. They have been described as a fearless breed that may be aggressive around other dogs unless introduced at an early age. Scottish Terriers were originally bred to hunt and fight badgers. Therefore, the Scottie is prone to dig as well as chase small vermin, such as Squirrels, rats, and mice. We have chosen some truly Scottish names and hope you will find just what you are looking for.
