Special Notice:
As authorized by the Board of the STCA, this series of web pages are based on the official publication of the STCA.

While a web page format requires some changes to the style and presentation layout, we have attempted to present all of the information in the original pamphlet.

As with the original, no portion of this material may be reproduced or published in another format without the express written permission of the Scottish Terrier Club of America.

A Study of the Scottish Terrier
Published by the
Scottish Terrier Club of America

This publication has been prepared by the illustrated Standard Committee of the Scottish Terrier Club of America (STCA) and subsequently approved by the Officers and Board of STCA. It is intended as a guide for judges, breeders, exhibitors, and fanciers of the Scottish Terrier.

More information may be obtained from other STCA publications, as well as from books authored by other breed authorities.

In order to accomplish this objective, we have attempted to employ appropriate illustrations and discussions of the various aspects and sections of the Official Standard pertaining to both the virtues and faults of the breed. :p>

It should be understood that in no way does this publication constitute any change in the existing Official Standard adopted by the STCA in 1993. It is simply an interpretation.
