Scottish terrier
Wiry Aberdeen dog
A Scottish terrier is a small, sturdy dog breed with a distinctive silhouette—short legs, erect ears, and a wiry coat, typically black.
The breed has a confident, sometimes stubborn temperament.
Affectionately called a Scottie, it became an iconic image through the Monopoly game piece and Fala, Franklin Roosevelt's companion.
