The Scottish Terrier

The Scottish terrier is sometimes confused with the Scotty, although completely back, and having a much more stockier body, they are sometimes mistaken by name.

This sturdy little dog has short legs and the way it is groomed makes them look even shorter. It is a strong, active animal and agile. The coat is compact, course, and hard as bristles with a soft undercoat that protects it thoroughly from bad weather.

The Black Scottie
Single white hairs against an otherwise pure black coat is a clear indication that the dog is naturally black.
Brindle Scottie
This Scottie can have more red shades in the colour variations, or silver.
A Wheaten Scottie

The Wheaten Scottie is NOT a white Scottie, nor is it a Wheaten Terrier.

The Wheaten coat is distinctively different from the Brindle in colour, but it exhibits the same characteristic of colour variation along each individual hair strand.
