Adopting a Scottish Terrier

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Scottish Terrier - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost of a Scottie can vary depending on factors such as the breeder’s reputation, the dog's pedigree, and the region. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $800 to $2,500 for a Scottie puppy from a reputable breeder. It’s essential to do your research and choose a responsible breeder who prioritizes the health and well-being of their dogs.

If you’re interested in adopting a Scottie, there are rescue organizations and shelters that specialize in the breed. Websites such as Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet can be good resources to start your search. Additionally, breed-specific rescue groups often have Scotties available for adoption. These organizations rescue Scotties in need, provide them with necessary medical care, and then find them loving forever homes. Adopting a Scottie can be a rewarding experience and provides a second chance to a dog in need of a loving home.
