Terri...Once you have been loved by a scottie you never forget them. They are extremely loyal and loving. Yes, they can be a bit stubborn, but eventually they see things your way and actually think it was their idea! Dottie is a wee bit stubborn, but she's coming along well. Olive is so well behaved it's almost scary. I've had Scotties for 43 years. During that time I have also had other breeds, but Scotties are my favorite by far. My DH is in love with these two already...it doesn't take long! Our house feels like a home again with the girls here.
