Breed history
Where Scottish Terriers come from
Scotties come from the Scottish Highlands as vermin hunters working rough terrain, one of several distinct terrier breeds from the region refined into the short legged long headed silhouette we know.
They became icons of advertising and presidential pets.
Modern Scotties are companions with strong opinions. History explains quarry drive; your fence explains the flowerbeds.
How the Scottish Terrier calculator works
1
It uses age and current weight
The calculator uses your puppy's current age and weight to estimate adult size. Because puppies grow fastest early on and then slow down as they mature, the estimate adjusts for the stage of growth your Scottish Terrier is in.
2
It compares against typical breed growth
Scottish Terriers are usually close to full size by around 12 months. As your puppy gets older and more of its growth is already complete, the estimate usually becomes more reliable.
3
It checks the estimate against the usual range
Most adult Scottish Terriers fall within a typical weight range of 18-22 lbs. You can use the calculator for younger puppies, but estimates are usually more accurate after about 12 weeks.
