The sctooish terrior was breed for rodent control, sampson sure fills his roll. he goes nuts when he see rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, and he does catch shrews. he has become very territorial as he has aged. he has his way of talking to you and you had better listen. |

About
Greta, The Scottish Terrier |
|
Greta, a
Purebred Scottish Terrier was
rescued by
Tracy Pearson from
United States. |
Here's how
Tracy Pearson describes
Greta :
Greta is the victim of irresponsible breeders. greta ant her littermates were kept in a barn with absolutely no socialization. greta may have also been abused. due to this, greta has extreme anxiety and is terrified of all humans except my husband and i. when anyone comes into our home she barks incesantly and hides under the table; otherwise she is very skittish, but she is still lovable towards her family. |
Does
Greta 's behavior show the inherent Scottish Terrier
characteristics?
Scottish terriers do have a really hard time recovering from lack of socialization and abuse--they are not terribly social with strangers and require love and affection from thier family. greta is most likley responding like any scottish terrier would have in her situation. she will not likley ever completely recover, but has found some peace and happiness in our quiet home with her brother macintosh (another scottie we rescued). |
Special Achievement of Greta :
Greta is the sweetest little scottie i have ever known. before she joined our family, she had never seen the inside of a house or been petted by a human. it's amazing what a lot of love and patience has done for her. greta sleeps on my pillow every night, and once in a great while will even give me a little kiss on my hand. |
Tracy Pearson's advice on what type of family should adopt
a Scottish Terrier:
Scotties need a patient owner due to their stubborness, and a firm hand. scotties should never be hit or scolded excessively--they respond best to positive reinforcement and need training early in life. scotties can be quite aloof, and are not a lap dog; i sometimes joke that scotties are like cat-dogs--very independent, but loyal to the end. scotties do best when they have a fenced yard to run around and dig in--they cannot be trusted off leash (in general). scotties are generally not recommended for families with small children because they have a tendency to snap; however, all of my scotties have been just fine with children. |
About
Holly Berry, The Scottish Terrier |
|
Holly Berry, a
Purebred Scottish Terrier was
rescued by
Susan Messick from
United States. |
Here's how
Susan Messick describes
Holly Berry :
As her name indicates, holly berry is black and beautiful. she is charming, alert, friendly, loving, energetic and loves to please. she is a quick learner and has already started training us! she loves to play, has boundless energy, and wants to be the center of attention. |
Does

Absolutely. she is focused on what she wants to focus on-never mind what we want. she is headstrong, determined and full of personality. she is bold, confident and dignified, all rolled into one dog! she is somewhat aggressive with other dogs, but a sweet companion. |
Special Achievement of Holly Berry :
We rescued holly recently. she was not housetrained, but is very smart. we are well on the way to completing that training, and i am sure she will train us to do many tricks for her. she absolutely owns us! what a bright, beautiful girl she is! |
Susan Messick's advice on what type of family should adopt
a Scottish Terrier:
I would not recommend a family with lots of other animals. she is adapting to our male cairn, but finds it necessary to be aggressive with other dogs who venture to visit us. she loves being the center of attention. |
About
Murphy, The Scottish Terrier |
|
Murphy, a
Purebred Scottish Terrier was
rescued by
Miranda from
United States. |
Here's how
Miranda describes
Murphy :
Murphy had several homes before he came to live with us. the first home the lady had health issues and could not longer afford him the attention he needed. the second home he was used mainly for stud..and apparently they had too many scotties and they chose to get rid of murphy. so i got a phone call asking me if i would take him. as i am the owner of five scottish terriers ages nine to fifteen years old. we could not have been happier to have rescued him. he is a happy high spirited little guy that just can not give us enough kisses and love. he has really been a bright spot in our life. |
Does
Murphy 's behavior show the inherent Scottish Terrier
characteristics?
Murphy is a clown and a tad hyper at times. he barks to alert when strangers are around..and is very alert and inquisitive.he is happy and greets each day like it was his first day on earth. everyone that meets this little guy falls in love with him. |
Special Achievement of Murphy :
I would like to share the fact that scottish terriers are very prone to bladder cancer. research has been show that feeding leafy vegetables reduce this risk. instead of cheap dog snacks you should start your scottie off on snacks such a carrots..murphy loves carrots. thus reducing his risk of cancer and adding to his health. |
Miranda's advice on what type of family should adopt
a Scottish Terrier:
I would advise people that they are very much a part of the family, not to be kept by people that are away from home most of the time. they do require grooming to keep their coats in top shape and this takes time. they are however independent dogs..and strong willed. but you will never find a more loyal friend. they will sit by you while you are watching televison..but they will also be ready to play the second you are..they tend to pick up their owners moods.although you will hear tales of how snappy they can be..i have had seven scotties and never found this to to true. all small children should respect any dog and not attempt to hurt it. my scotties were raised with my son who has autism..and they were wonderful with him. treat him with respect and you will be rewarded with a lifetime of devotion. |
