Story
Meet King Kong! This Cairn Terrier mix may be smaller in size, but don’t let that fool you—he’s got energy, charm, and a playful spirit that could rival dogs twice his size. His heart says he's a wookiee, but his body says dog! King Kong lives for playtime, whether it’s chasing toys, romping around the yard, or making goofy zoomies that are sure to bring a smile to your face. This little guy is especially interested in making dog friends. He’s on the lookout for a playful buddy who can match his happy energy, but who also knows how to take a breather and enjoy the finer things—like a good sniff session or a nap in the sun. King Kong loves to explore the world with his nose and appreciates a good balance between action and relaxation. However, while he is a fan of his doggy friends, he is not required to have them and would be fine in a home with just adult buddies to play! King Kong isn’t a fan of loud noises, fast movements, or the unpredictability that often comes with children, though. Because of this, he’s looking for a calm, adult-only home where he can feel safe, understood, and totally himself. King Kong is still waiting for his neuter surgery, but he’s otherwise healthy and full of zest. He's just waiting for the right people—his people—who will embrace his spunky little soul and give him the loving, structured home he deserves. King Kong is here, tail wagging and heart open, just waiting to find his perfect match!

Adopting a Scottish Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Scottish Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost of a Scottie can vary depending on factors such as the breeder’s reputation, the dog's pedigree, and the region. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $800 to $2,500 for a Scottie puppy from a reputable breeder. It’s essential to do your research and choose a responsible breeder who prioritizes the health and well-being of their dogs.

If you’re interested in adopting a Scottie, there are rescue organizations and shelters that specialize in the breed. Websites such as Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet can be good resources to start your search. Additionally, breed-specific rescue groups often have Scotties available for adoption. These organizations rescue Scotties in need, provide them with necessary medical care, and then find them loving forever homes. Adopting a Scottie can be a rewarding experience and provides a second chance to a dog in need of a loving home.

Scottish Terrier fun facts

Fun Facts:

Scottish Terriers have been the go-to presidential dog of not one, not two, but three U.S. Presidents: Eisenhower had three Scotties, George W. Bush had two Scotties, and Franklin D. Roosevelt had one. FDR's Scottie, Fala, was buried alongside him.

All modern Scottish Terriers can trace their lineage back to a single Female, the "mother" of the breed -- "Splinter II."

16th century Scotland's King James VI was so fond of Scottish Terriers that he kept several of his own and sent 6 to France as a gift.
