Hey guys, we have some news we've been holding off on. On the 14th, my dogs found a large copperhead while they were outside. In true Scottie fashion, they wouldnt stop until it was dead. Minnow and Eerie both got bitten. Eerie was bitten twice in the snout and once on the back end. The ones on her face seemed to be dry bites, as there was no swelling, bleeding, etc. Her back end may have been as well, but it got infected. Minnow was bitten 2 or 3 times in the mouth. Her lymph nodes and face swelled, but she did amazing and was back to normal in 2 days.

When Soda was bitten last year, her face swelled horribly and all the hair on her muzzle fell out. The vet said that it may never come back, however, it came back lush and normal after a few months. We're grateful that both girls have recovered so well. The bad news is that Eerie was the first one expecting in September. She was still early, but at this point, we dont know yet whether the puppies were affected. She was not the only planned pregnancy for fall, but we are still hopeful.

With all of that being said, we have started holding in advance for those who have been waiting. Please feel free to message us with questions. Thank you all for your support and for keeping up with us all of these years!

One of Minnows babies is on a poster for Agnes Scott college! Not only that, but the soccer coach invited Louie to the first soccer game of the year. They want him to run onto the field with the team!
How exciting is that?!

Hi everyone! Its been a while! Our pack and family are doing great. How is everyone handling this heat? Whew!
I wanted to share this cute picture of one of our babies that his family sent me. He looks like Jaws in the back chasing everyone doesnt he? I love it!

My grooming salon was blessed to give this sweet boy his first haircut today! I love seeing my puppies come back in for grooming, and I love getting to see them grow up!

I would like to share a story with you to illustrate a point that is very important to us.

Once upon a time, a very good Scottie owner who not only had loads of experience, but also other of our Scots, found herself in a situation where one of the pups did not fit in with his sisters. They tried for a long time, but sometimes, because dogs have different personalities just like people, it just doesn't work out.

This family reached out and asked us to rehome him. I know what a hard decision that was for them, and it was sad for us too. Rather than saying he was a bad dog or blaming the breeder, or looking for an excuse, they just chose him. His needs. His happiness. They cared enough to want what was best for him and their other dogs.

This dog was rehomed to a different family from our page without other dogs to distract him from learning how he was supposed to behave. They took him to classes and celebrated who he was, rather than finding faults. I'm proud to say he is a puppy class graduate, has a kitty friend, and is so beautiful and loved.

When we say we don't shame people for rehoming, this is why. Sometimes a pup just doesn't work out where they are. Sometimes its because the environment isn't suitable. Sometimes it's their personality that clashes. Sometimes it's a lack of training or even incorrect training. Maybe they just didnt fit the expectations of that particular owner. Maybe the home situation changed or the owner's health caused an issue. That's all ok. Life happens. We want you to love them forever. We really do, but if a different situation is best, we can help. That's why its part of our contract to always take them back at any age, for any reason, if you need us to, and we're able. If we can't get to them, we can help you rehome here. There is too much negativity in the world to wish it on others, or to judge people when you don't know their situation. You might just be helping another family find their new best friend!

Good afternoon everyone! We've had a lot of recent messages about our plans for the future. To be honest, we haven't really made any plans.
For those of you looking to add to your family, what kind of time frame are you considering? I figured some research now would help us with making our planning moving forward! Thank for your input!

Well, we already have snakes popping up in the yard. It's so discouraging. We cut down all bushes, we clear cut the woods behind our house. We keep the grass short and places for snakes to hide minimal. Still, the Scots find snakes. The snakes don't seem to find them, it's the Scots that do the hunting. Does anyone else have problems with snakes? I'm praying we get through this summer without any bites. 😞
