 | | The Scottish Terrier retains many of the personality traits for which they were originally bred, and for this reason it is important they not be outside off leash as they can and often will go chasing after small animals. |
 | | The Scottish Terrier is related to the West Highland White Terrier, and it may have originally been known as the "Aberdeen Terrier", though many sources state that the Aberdeen was in fact an ancestor to the Scottie. |
 | | This breed is prone to 'Scottish Cramp' (appears during the first year, causing muscle stiffness and limping when the dog is exercised or excited), von Willebrand's disease (akin to hemophilia in humans), craniomandibular osteopathy (abnormal bone growth in the head region, seen in young dogs), allergies, intervertebral disc protrusion, and elbow dysplasia. |
