Summary
About Scottish Terrier
Scottish Terriers are small, sturdy, low‑slung dogs originally bred in Scotland to hunt vermin. Recognizable by their long head, prick ears, and wiry double coat, they are loyal, independent, and reserved with strangers. They need regular grooming, moderate exercise, and patient, positive training.
About Bouvier des Ardennes
The Bouvier des Ardennes is a rare, medium-sized Belgian herding dog with a rough, weatherproof coat and scruffy beard. Energetic, intelligent, loyal, and naturally protective, it excels at demanding work and active family life but needs ample exercise, training, and socialization.
