This dog is fearless and makes a good watchdog. It is also calm enough to live in the city. It is affectionate and should live indoors.
Breed Overview
These terriers originated in Scotland during the 1500s. They were used for fox and otter hunting. These devoted and powerful hunting terriers are one of the calmer breeds of terriers to be able to live in cities. They are mild-mannered, fearless, intelligent, and loyal companions. They form very strong bonds with their owners, are exceptional watchdogs, and may be cautious with strangers. To stay in shape, daily exercise in the form of a moderate walk or an exploring game outdoors is ideal. They are great companions for city dwellers, seniors, active individuals, and families with older children. Biweekly combing of their coats is required for grooming.
