This book will begin with the breed standard for the Scottish Terrier, but when it is finished will have covered a great deal more information.  The objective is to help better understand the dog.

The official Breed Standard for the Scottish Terrier was developed by the STCA in accordance with AKC guidelines.  The current version was submitted to the AKC and approved on October 12, 1993.  

The most frequent use of the standard is by AKC judges when evaluating dogs in the conformation ring.  The standard is also used by Scottie breeders to evaluate there own breeding program.  We've included links to two copies of the standard.  One link is for the Official AKC version.  If you're a show secretary and want to impress the judge, include a printout of this version along with the judge's record book.  The second link is to another copy of the same document within our own web site.  This STCA copy of the breed standard uses the exact same wording but includes additional hyperlinks to additional explanations that help to understand the standard.  The STCA also has a publication titled A Study of the Scottish Terrier that is available from the Corresponding Secretary A portion of this publication can be viewed online by clicking here.

Eventually we would like to cover the complete Scottish Terrier in this section.  Future sections will include Obedience, Agility, Earthdog and Field Trial events as well as a more in-depth coverage of Conformation.
