| Historically, the Scottie was bred by farmers to help them manage vermin problems. They would follow prey, such as badgers, foxes, and other vermin, right into their burrows and then try to dig them out. Such breeds of dogs are known as Earth dogs. Scottish Terriers do well in earthdog trials, which are a simulated hunt. |
Our Scottish Terrier and her breed, is nicknamed the “Diehard,” and that should give you some indication of her personality. She’s independent, feisty and not afraid to stand up for herself. She’s always ready to play and to chase, especially sheep.
