re: Anyone here ever owned a Scottish Terrier?

Can't testify to the Scotty but we are on our second Irish Terrier in the last 13 years after having labs for more than 30. We generally had two labs that would work ducks, dove and quail (although not as good as the other birds.) I have to say the Terriers have stolen my heart both have been jewels....BUTif you are not going to put in the training when they are young you are looking for trouble. They need lots of time and attention for the first two years from you and your wife...Dont know how they would do in an apartment. We have the room and also a large fenced in area for the necessary laps...My male never backed down from a fight which we couldn't control....It was like a switch in his brain strike first...No sniffing or forplay it was all teeth and I can't imagine he never got crunched.....Possums, raccoons, and snakes there was no fear....And when it was time to watch tv he was on your lap and traveled like a pro...I am a big fan of the Irish, and he was a family dog and never met a kid he didn't worship. We have a 3 year female now she's great just a little timid but a dog that will keep you laughing.

That’s the only dog I have ever been bitten by as a kid and bled. Knocked on their door, his parent let me in, and it ran up and bit me on my belly. Not a fan, ha

My mother-in-law does. Always has two. They're awesome dogs, but never live past about 7 years old. Make sure you get pet health insurance. They're prone to tumors and all kinds of stuff

They like to play and enjoy a wide variety of foods. The one I had growing up loved pork. We called him Sgt. Sausage.

The Black ones are OK. But Westies, the white ones, can be a problem. Very high strung and very inbred resulting in a lot of health issues and allergies.

Love Scotties, and will probably get one in the future. The allergies are no joke. Usually can be managed with a combination of special food, omega supplements, allergy shots, and or allergy pills. It’s a huge pain and can get really expensive over time.
I currently have a Boston terrier with moderate allergies, and if they get out of control, they lead to ear infections. You have to stay on top of it

At first glance, I thought this was something about a Scottish Terror.

We had one decades ago. Good family dog. Extremely loyal. RIP, Scottie.

Currently own one and she’s a great dog. Really sweet and fun to play with. They can be stubborn to train well. She’s stubborn in general though
I read a lot before getting one that they like to be by themselves. She’s not that way at all. Wants to meet everyone and be near someone at all times

I’ll second this

We had two when I was growing up as kid. They are well behaved and lovable. Great personalities. They can be a little on the wild side as puppies.

You know what you call a female one?

I had one growing up. They are smart but not easy to train. They have a mind of their own. They love to play and enjoy a variety of toys.

My sister has owned at least six over the years. Wonderful dogs. I assume you're in Louisiana, so not sure about breeders, but I'm certain there are groups on Facebook who could help steer you to someone in your area. Just know that grooming will be a regular part of your life/budget.

Terriers are the best. A good yorkie has the perfect intelligence/ demeanor. Scotties rock.

I would choose another breed. I had one and it was very mean towards anyone that came to our house plus they can be stubborn and will dig if you leave them out. Hard pass

My grandparents did. My grandpa called it shithead. It was a stupid arse dog.
