A Scottie in any color...

The question "Are all Scotties black?" comes up often when someone finds out I am involved with Scottish Terriers.

This question is answered well along with many other frequently asked questions at the Scottish Terrier Club of America website: http://clubs.akc.org/stca/faqs.htm

Are all Scotties black?
No. Scotties come in 3 colors: Black, Brindle, and Wheaten. All meet the breed Standard for the Scottish Terrier and true Scottie people are color blind. Brindle is any multicolor and Wheaten can be a light cream color to as dark as cinnamon. There is no difference in the other aspects of the dog.


Here are some examples:

These two little sisters are from the same litter. A wonderful example of how versatile Scotties can be!
