14 Of The Very Best Scottish Terriers Wearing Halloween Costumes

#10 This strong, compact, short-legged dog is very muscular and agile.

Its very elongated head is striking, with the snout being about as long as the skull. The pointed, triangular ears are carried erect, giving him an always alert facial expression.

#11 The pretty, bold-eyed, almond-shaped eyes are almost hidden under rather bushy brows, and the long beard on the chin is a hallmark of this breed.

#12 Terriers are characters, especially the proud and independent Scottish Terrier.

Unconditional submission and stubborn following of commands are not for this little free spirit. He repeatedly demands encounters “at eye level” from his owner and has to be convinced of the meaningfulness of the requested behavior with a lot of patience and benevolent consistency. The most promising way to raise a Scottie is through motivation and positive reinforcement.
