Scottish Staffish Bull Terrier

Scottish Staffish Bull Terrier History

The Scottish Lowland or Short-haired Highland or Northern Bull Terrier is a breed of dog. The Breed Standard of the Scottish, or lowland, bull terrier describes a dog with a muscular body, strong legs, and a confident and courageous temperament. The head is in proportion to the body, and is square with a level top; the muzzle is strong and blunt, with jaws of even length. The eyes are medium-sized, dark, and rather heavy, with a lively and intelligent expression. The ears are low set, with hair growing in them, and are set fairly wide apart. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. The coat is short, smooth, and glossy, and comes in many colours. The hair is shorter on the head and the front of the legs and is longer on the back, buttocks, and on the tail. The tail is tapering, and never curled. The coat is slightly longer on the forelegs and the hind legs. The Scottish, or lowland, bull terrier is descended from the Scottish terrier and the bull-dog, and is classified as a “northern type” of terrier.

Scottish Staffish Bull Terrier Activity Requirements

Scottish Terriers were bred to be strong, muscular hunting dogs. Today, they are a popular companion dog and do well in homes with children and other pets. A daily walk or short play session is ideal for a Scottish Terrier. They should be kept on a leash while they are outside, as they may chase small animals. A Scottish Terrier is a relatively inactive breed of dog. They don’t need as much walking or play time as some other breeds. However, they do require regular interaction with their humans and do best when they can spend time indoors with their family.
