Scottish Terriers are a breed of dog best known for their dark black fur and their die-hard spirit. A Scottish Terrier, or Scottie, is a small Terrier. Scotties are fast and have a muscular body, often appearing to be barrel chested. Its traditional haircut is shaggy-to-the-ground. They were originally bred in Scotland (their first name was the Aberdeen Terrier] about 1700, but achieved their final size and shape in 1890. Their nickname is "little diehard" from James III of England, the King descended from the Scottish line.
