Most modern Scotties can trace their lineage back to a female named the Splinter II. It belonged to J.H. Ludlow, founder of the Scottish Terrier Club of England. She is considered the mother of the breed.
Alongside the Wire Fox Terrier, the Scottish Terrier has the most Westminster Dog Show wins of any breed, with a whopping eight awards. The last win was in 2010 with a dog named Ch. Roundtown Mercedes from Maryscot (Sadie for short).
Families will have no trouble getting affection from their Scotties, but strangers may have to work for it. Dogs are naturally suspicious of new people and take a while to get around.
Scotties are born diggers. Terriers were bred to dig and find prey, so it makes sense that they’d be forced to pound in the dirt. Even if your Scottie isn’t a hunter, he may dig for comfort or out of boredom. To keep your rhododendron safe, make sure your dog is mentally stimulated and gets plenty of exercises.
