Scottish Terrier Dogs in England

Scottish Terriers do not bark excessively. They typically bark with purpose, mainly to alert owners to strangers or unusual activity, making them effective watchdogs. Their bark is loud and deep for their size rather than yappy or constant, and with sufficient mental and physical stimulation, unnecessary barking can be minimised.

Scottish Terriers are affectionate and bond closely with their family members, particularly those they trust, but they are generally independent dogs who prefer having their own space. While they do cuddle and enjoy human companionship, they are not typically lapdogs and may show affection on their own terms.

The cost of a Scottish Terrier puppy in the United Kingdom may vary, but generally, reputable breeders price them between approximately £600 and £2,000 depending on lineage, breeder reputation, and location. Adoption options can be less costly, but always verify the breeder or rescue to ensure health and temperament standards.
