We will gladly be a lifetime support to you, and your new Companion. Always here to answer any questions you may have.
We try to give them the best start possible, raised in house underfoot, we socialize them the proper way. We do not release them out into the public until they are properly vetted, and old enough. Most pups should never be out in a "farm environment" until puppy inoculations are complete. Handling by a variety of too many people at such a young age can easily cause damage to a young pup. We will be glad to send you photos of the pups after they are born, snuggled up with Mum in the helping box. We do not photograph puppies only a few days old, just to post for an advertisement. This is very irresponsible in the critical first 2 weeks of life, not to mention very upsetting to Mum to take newborn pups away for pictures. Safety is always our top priority.
Introducing the Scottish Terrier
Introducing the Scottish Terrier
The Scottie dog is an ancient breed with a distinct look.
Let’s face it, he’s one of the most iconic terrier types around.
His confidence has landed him the nickname of the “diehard” dog, as he is so resilient and independent.
Said to have human-like qualities, this breed is a popular choice.
Especially amongst owners who value cleverness, personality, and poise.
What Is the Scottish Terrier Origin?
As you may have guessed from his name, the Scottish Terrier is believed to hail from Scotland.
Although this was up for debate during much of the 1800s,, since the breed is so ancient.
His type and origin had been largely undocumented until that point.
Still, it is likely that the Scottie is amongst the oldest terriers of the Scottish Highlands.
Scottish Terrier Temperament and Personality
Despite their size, Scotties were bred to be bold and courageous, taking on fierce predators like foxes and badgers!
Needs Socialization
Although the Scottie is rather playful and fun as a puppy, he does grow up into a proud adult.
A properly trained Scottie will get on well with children who are gentle,and respectful.
The Scottish Terrier can be aloof with strangers.
And for this reason, experts recommend that he is socialized early on in puppyhood.
Early socialization and obedience training will be a key tool with this breed.
And help ensure he is adaptable and well trained to behave properly in new situations.
Independent
If you are considering the Scottie for your household, you should also keep in mind that this tiny terrier is very independent.
He does what he pleases and has lots of intelligence and a high level of energy that will need to be harnessed.
While he does not respond well to harsh training, he will need a patient and consistent hand to keep him focused.
Speaking of training, how do you train such an independent thinker?
Terrier Exercise and Training Needs
With positive reinforcement, of course!
The Scottish Terrier is known for his independence and free-spirited ways.
This is a breed who is not only a snuggly little companion but is a free-thinker who likes to explore and burn lots of energy as well!
For this reason, the Scottie dog will need consistency and patience from his owners, and early socialization is a must.
Any obedience training should begin in puppyhood and then carry on throughout the Scottie’s lifetime.
Exercise
As far as exercise goes, the Scottie is a terrier type with boundless amounts of energy!
Still, they make wonderful dogs for smaller homes and even apartments.
Lots of their energy can be used up during brisk, daily walks and games of play.
Tug of war, catch, and chase are all great games for this breed.
Playing with them not only helps to keep them in good shape, but it will also keep them in a good mood!
Cancer in Scottish Terriers
Let's discuss the problem that plagues a lot of our furry friends
All to often I answer the phone, and on the other end of the line is the devastated person who has lost a beloved family member.
Unfortunately , one of the most common things I hear is that they have lost their pet to one of the horrible cancers, that can plague these beloved animals.
First, please do not be duped into believing if you spend more money for foriegn blood lines this will cure your problem. This is simply not the case.
The STCA,along with many other wonderful folks whom have donated their time too the researching of this troublesome issue,have managed to narrow it down too some of the most common causes.
1) That exposure to lawn and garden chemicals will increase the risk for TCC in Scottish Terriers;
2) That exposure to flea and tick products will increase the risk for TCC in Scotties:
3) That certain foods, in particular certain vegetables and vitamin supplements, fed on a routine basis, will reduce the risk for TCC in Scotties.
We follow these suggestions very closely,and had wonderful success in having cancer free dogs that live 13-15 years old. Once again proving diet, chemical treatments,and exposures play a much larger role in the problem,than bloodlines.Now we realize the importance of choosing the healthiest pups from the very best breeding stock,to insure a lifetime of love,health,and happiness for your Companions.However,spending a small fortune on a pup from overseas imported bloodlines is simply not necessary to ensure your new addition leads a good,cancer free life with you for many years.
Paying attention to many environmental exposures however,is.
