The ancestors of the Scottish Shepherd Dog lived in the cold northern Scotland, where it was cold all year round, which made their ancestors have very thick and long hair. Compared with the Scottish Shepherd Dog used for work at that time, the Scottish Shepherd Dog we see now has a little longer legs, mainly because people improved it to make it more beautiful. The Scottish Shepherd Dog gradually became a companion dog and was widely popular. Later, the Scottish Shepherd Dog was favored by Queen Elizabeth and attracted attention from all sides, including Hollywood. You can see the Scottish Shepherd Dog in any movie related to Scotland. In ancient times, the reason why the Scottish Shepherd Dog became a very popular shepherd dog was largely due to its excellent working ability. Now, this very beautiful dog has become a very good companion dog, easy to tame, gentle, loyal and reliable, and has an outstanding ability to take care of children.

The Scottish Shepherd Dog is gentle and easy to get close to. It is energetic outdoors, has rich feelings for its owner, and is very alert to strangers. This dog is good at socializing and usually does not show any weakness or aggression. It has a keen sense of hearing and can hear sounds half a kilometer away. It is very loyal to its owner. Although the Scottish Shepherd Dog has extremely thick hair, it is not easy to shed except for the time of molting.

Scottish shepherd dogs have strong sexual desires, and when their sexual desires are restricted, they will do the climbing behavior. The owner can prepare a water gun or sprayer, and once it does this behavior, spray it to distract its attention. If necessary, criticize it with words to let it know that it is extremely bad to do so.
