The
Scottish Terrier
Scottish
terrier is breed of short-legged terrier perfected in Scotland
in the middle of the 19th century. It stands about 10 in. (25
cm) high at the shoulder and weighs from 18 to 22 lb (8.2–10.0
kg). Its dense, hard, wiry coat is about 2 in. (5 cm) long and
may be steel gray, brindle, grizzle, black, sandy, or wheaten
in color. A very strong dog for its size, the scottie was originally
used to hunt small game, particularly badgers. Today it is raised
chiefly as a family pet.
