Scottish Terrier
Scottish Terriers (19-22 pounds) are independent, confident, and spirited, great for calm owners. They’re good with older kids but may not tolerate rough play. Moderate exercise (1 hour daily, walks or digging) suits them; their wiry coat needs regular brushing and stripping.
Feed 1-1.5 cups daily of Merrick Classic Small Breed Recipe, with 28% protein for their energy and joint health. Monitor portions to avoid obesity. Suited for both indoor and outdoor living with secure yards, they adapt to apartments with exercise.
Training curbs stubbornness. Perfect for owners seeking a bold, low-shedding dog, Scotties thrive with engagement, not for rough or untrained homes.
