Scottish Terriers were developed hundreds of years ago, with emphasis on certain physical and mental characteristics that enabled them to efficiently perform vermin control work. Scotties were required to collaborate closely with their humans, but also be independent thinkers and problem solvers.
Hunting, tracking, sighting, digging, all come naturally to the Scottish Terrier. They have very keen eyesight. The impulse to give chase is nearly irresistible! They are persistent in pursuit.
A home that offers lots of interaction with humans, joint adventures, physical activity, and plenty of affection is most suitable for a Scottie. Without these elements to satisfy their needs, Scotties may create their own diversions, which might not be what humans like.
At Kingsdale, we breed sparingly and selectively, seeking to produce the healthiest, smartest, most athletic, best-natured, and well-conformed Scotties one could hope for. We use Puppy Culture techniques with all of our babies and older dogs.
We are especially pleased to anticipate seeing our Scotties compete in conformation, agility, barn hunt, scent work, obedience, or service dog disciplines in the years ahead. A dog like this is our ambition.
We screen and carefully select the homes our Scotties will go to, and are highly selective in our placements. We like fenced yards, experienced dog & Scottie owners, and rewards-based training only. We have a contract that specifies the kind of training and care our puppies will receive in new homes.
