Terrier
Small
25 cm
8–10 kg
Moderate
Moderate. Daily walks and a chance to investigate bushes satisfy many adults.
Moderate
A hard, wiry outer jacket and a dense undercoat, typically in black, brindle, or wheaten.
Scotland
Aloof with strangers, devoted at home, and not a natural mixer at the dog park. Scotties have a dry humor and a low tolerance for being treated as toys.
Terrier
Medium
56–61 cm
18–29 kg
High
High. This is a sporting terrier: hikes, swimming, training, and retrieving all suit it.
High
A hard, dense, wiry saddle of black or grizzle over tan legs, head, and ears.
United Kingdom
Intelligent, loyal, and terrier-bold without the extreme fire of some smaller earth dogs. They can be clownish at home and reserved with strangers.
