You get the pattern for “Shadow” the Scottish Terrier for a low price.

He is a very distinctive dog and very recognizable. He stands about four and a half inches tall and six and a half inches from nose to tail.

Also known as an Aberdeen Terrier but he is most well known as the “Scottie.” They are small but very muscular and independent and self-assured. The Scottish Terriers are alert, quick and feisty as all terriers but they can be even more so. Scotties are very loving dogs, but have a tendency towards being stubborn and can easily dominate the household.

Scottish Terriers make terrific watchdogs as they usually only bark when necessary. They should be walked using a leash because they were originally bred for badger hunting and are prone to dig and chase small vermin.
