The Dignified Detective with a Beard Full of Secrets
Personality Results
Personality
The Scottish Terrier is the Sherlock Holmes of the canine world — dignified, low to the ground, and constantly investigating suspicious smells. That wiry coat and iconic beard aren’t just for looks; they add to the air of authority as this little detective patrols the backyard like it’s Baker Street. Affectionate on their terms and admirably self-assured, Scotties never grovel for attention — instead, they grant you the privilege of their company. They're known for being bold and a bit aloof, yet fiercely devoted. Their bark could wake the whole village, which they consider a community service. Reserved with strangers but devoted to their inner circle, the Scottish Terrier is a pint-sized powerhouse of class, sass, and Scottish charm.
Trait Table
Scottish Terriers are independent, dignified, and quietly loyal. Though they may not wear their emotions on their wiry sleeves, they form deep bonds with their humans. They're brave, moderately energetic, and always carry an air of mystery — with a bark louder than you’d expect from such short legs.
