Iconic thanks to the board game Monopoly, the Scottish Terrier, or Scottie Dog, is a short-legged, square-shaped dog. They are compact and heavy-boned, making them powerful little packages. Their coats have a dense undercoat and a hard and wiry overcoat. Expressive eyebrows and a wizened beard give them a pensive expression.
