About the Scottish Terrier
A short-legged, wiry terrier from the Scottish Highlands, bred to dig out foxes and badgers. Known for a dignified, almost aloof personality and a distinctive beard and eyebrows. President Franklin Roosevelt took his Scottie Fala almost everywhere, and George W. Bush owned Scotties named Barney and Miss Beazley. The breed is also a classic Monopoly game token.
