OverviewThe Scottish Terrier, often called a ""Scottie,"" is one of the most popular and beloved dog breeds that has been around for many generations. These sturdy, little canines originated in Scotland, where their primary purpose of breeding was to hunt mice and small game such as foxes. The name ""Terrier,"" derived from the Latin word terra, meaning earth, designates the breed of dog that includes Scottish Terriers. Given that the species was created to hunt and excavate underground creatures, this sums up the breed's primary purpose very well. Scottish Terriers are said to have originated in the wild highlands of Scotland around the 17th century. They were once included in the same group as other regional terriers, such as the West Highland White Terrier, Skye, and Cairn. Nonetheless, the 19th century saw the breed take on its distinctive form thanks to Scottish breeders who aimed to standardize the type's appearance and behavior. This resulted in a little dog with an iconic appearance, who is fearless, loyal, and independent.
