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.
