I am thinking of purchasing a Scottish Terrier. Are they a good breed? Do you or have you had one?
It would be a family pet & would stay indoors, except for a walk.
Do they do good with litter training? Does it work?
I had a yorkie once, and i tried to litter train him, and wouldnt even use it. He just stood there and then used it when he stepped out of the pan. It was very frustrating......
thanks =]

& please no RUDE responses, "get em gang", you arent even a scottie breeder. what would you know about them? & some people actually have jobs, and our dogs must be left for long periods of time, so litter or paper training in quit appropriate.

Hi i am joey c. sorry if my english is bad, that's becouse i am from the netherrlands.
a scottish terrier is a good breed, but they are a little hyper active. they just can't sit still for one minute. they're fun, but very bussy. my grandmother used to have one named puck. Litter training is pretty difficult with a scottish terrier. =] bye

I think you want a cat if you want a litter trained animal. A Scottish Terrier is not the dog for everyone. They are highly intelligent, stubborn, and determined as all terriers are. They need a very strong pack leader and consistent training or they can become problem dogs. Aggressiveness is not uncommon in Scotties. If you want a mellow smaller dog, consider a poodle.

I only know a couple of Scottish Terriers and two of the three are really not nice, very snappy. So I would definately recommend that you do your research on the breed and breeder. I only know one litter trained dog and she is a Pug. Good Luck.

It really is NOT natural for dogs to use litter! I know many people that failed at training the dogs to use it.
If you are needing a small breed that will be required to use it, think long and hard. From people I have known, the terriers were the hardest to train to the litter.

If you were foolish enough to try to LITTER -TRAIN a yorky(or ANY dog!-YUCK!!!),then you are *****NOT**** a scotty person!!!
NOT!!!
WRONG breed!!!!
Scots are ***WAY*** too smart & STRONG & independent for you!!!
Do you have CLUE what ***TERRIER*** MEANS???
A dog bred for HUNDREDS of years to CONFRONT formidable quarry IN-GROUND!!! *NOT* be "cutsie wittle wap-doggies"!!!
You need a cat..or a hamster or a goldfish....preferably the goldfish so you can just flush the carcass.
PS: DANG RIGHT I don't "do" scotties! I *KNOW* them well enough to KNOW they are NOT what *I* like in a dog. I've JUDGED & HANDLED & GROOMED enough of em to KNOW that! NOT go by the latest "fad-doggie"!
***&***MILLIONS of people have dogs *&* work *&* STILL manage to HOUSEBREAK the dog so it ***DOESN"T*** PISS & SHI*T all over the place while they're gone!!!
