We Scotties are highly intelligent dogs. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it! Not only are we studious, but we are well read and we excel in school, especially obedience school. Ha ha ha, just kidding! Actually, we are so independent, self-assured, and stubborn that we pretty much do whatever we want, so it’s a good thing that people who are owned by Scotties are such loyal fans, because we are truly unique little characters!
