(1)
Home raised quality puppies occasionally available.
Another reminder to be alert, the scammers are hard at work in South Africa, work only with a recognised KUSA breeder, go to shows. All the shows are listed in the event calendar on the KUSA.co.za website. There are shows around the country on almost every weekend. Just check the calender to see when there are shows in your area.
We have a litter of Skye puppies, five in total, three boys and two girls. Born 30 Sept 2021.
Exports two booked already. And Darzet and Ailsabute will keep one or two which means one or two pups are available.
Parents are the first two Junior Merit Winners in the Breed ever in South Africa.

Line breeding to Ailsabute's first import the inimitable, irreplaceable, and outstanding CIB BIS MBISS BPISS BVIS RBVIS Zach Buckwheaters Curry Favour at Ailsabute. Who is a daughter of Skyeluck Adalia's Aidan and Finnsky Fascination (Mathilda).
Bloodlines and pedigrees of the Darzet puppies can be found on the global Skye Terrier database.
We could have puppies on the way. We should know next week to 10 days. Will be born under kennel Darzet. Although the bitch was with me for breeding. She will go home after the pregnancy is confirmed. Enquiries welcome although the litter is half booked depending on what we get. I.e. boys vs girls and drop vs prick.
I am no longer breeding Springers and I haven't for a long time. It doesn't mean they are not still in my heart and my home. I still have one springer of 13 years. She's my old lady. And the last of my line here at home. Most of the springers I bred in four litters over five years went to pet homes. Half of the first litter were ZA Ch. Talley, Abbey and Gunna. Only one puppy in all those years was surrendered back due to his elderly humans having to move into care but thankfully that old guy Benbecula, brother of the first litter so Talley's brother, smoothly relocated to another family in my springer family and he has been happily rehomed with a nephew for the last few years. I've been focusing on Skyes for the last few years as this is an endangered breed.
If you need references to reputable springer breeders, call me. I usually give references for three that I know are still breeding.
I will adjust the page title only when my last lovely girl passes. Nevertheless I continue to answer calls on Springers, help people who have been scammed, and advise on how to know your home is a suitable springer home.
It's a gorgeous breed especially for a young and active family. Or active elderly people who clock in a good few kms a day. But it's not for workaholics. Or for people who want the dog to stay in the yard. So don't get the wrong breed! Right? Get the right breed for your lifestyle.
If anyone is interested in a Skye puppy please let me know.
Enquiries now. Mating to be done in next 48 hours. If successful puppies in March and ready for new homes in June.

Number one best cuddler breeds...
Skye Terrier.
If you’re thinking about adopting the sort of dog who will be happy to soak up every ounce of love and attention you have to give, you’re in the right place! These are the breeds that love to snuggle! Of course, all breeds can be cuddlers, including mixed breeds, but this list is for dogs …
In a similar vein to heat dangers. Here is what to do in the event of heat stroke in your dog.
🚑🚑🚑
Extreme Heat Dangers for Dogs
Dog owners need to be aware of the dangers of this extreme heat we are currently experiencing across South Africa.
Dogs can get dangerously dehydrated causing elevated chloride and sodium levels. This can lead to seizures. The extremely high UV ray's from being in the sun outdoors for many hours can also cause cancers. Make sure dogs that live outdoors have a cool dark place to go to in the extreme hot weather. Traditional plastic kennels are like ovens with very little air circulation so are not useful. If you cant keep your dog indoors in a cool place with fans and air circulation they should have a ventilated brick shelter with good air circulation to take refuge in during the day. And to take shelter at night during electric storms. And not with an IBR roof as this becomes like an oven too. Tiled or thatched roof is best. Many homes have a lapa but if you dont please make sure you have another cool place for them to go.
If you've left your dogs at home outside the house with a pet service visiting to feed them and check on them it is even more important that the dogs can find refuge from the heat as there is no one to see if they become distressed.
Take care of your animals this holiday. ❤❤❤
Please do not get scammed by websites like this. Make sure you are dealing with a real person, with real dogs that are known and seen at dog shows. Not a broker type site and definitely don't support backyard breeders.
Honest show breeders advertise their litters only on their own website or page, never in classifieds, their dogs are regularly at Kusa events around the country to be viewed by the public.
If in doubt use the Kusa breeder listing to find a breeder of your chosen breed.
Get to know the breeder long before the litter is planned and be sure that you understand the breeders's contract or terms.
Many people have lost thousands of rands with no hope of recovering it.

Wonderful video introduction to the heavenly breed!
SO JUST HOW LONG DO YOUR PET’S SHOTS LAST?
Definitely longer than a year!
According to the top pet immunologist (aka vaccine expert) in the world, Dr. Ronald Schultz, Ph.D. – “ Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions.”
What the heck are adverse reactions (or side effects)?
Well according to the other rock star pet immunologist Dr. Jean Dodds:
“Side effects from dog vaccinations can occur anywhere from instantly up to several weeks or months later. Vaccines can even cause susceptibility to chronic diseases that appear much later in a dog’s life (Dodd, 2001).
Severe and fatal adverse reactions include:
•Susceptibility to infections.
•Neurological disorders and encephalitis.
•Aberrant behavior, including unprovoked aggression.
•Vaccines are linked to seizures. Distemper, parvovirus, rabies and, presumably, other vaccines have been linked with poly neuropathy, a nerve disease that involves inflammation of several nerves. (Dodds,2001)”
SO HOW LONG EXACTLY DOES YOUR PET’S VACCINE LAST?
According to the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), (basically the dudes who set the standards for the vets): “Among healthy dogs, all commercially available [core] vaccines are expected to induce a sustained protective immune response lasting at least 5 yr. thereafter”
Here’s the breakdown of the core vaccines from Dr. Ronald Schultz:
Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines:
Distemper- 7 years by challenge
Parvovirus – 7 years by challenge
Adenovirus – 7 years by challenge
Canine rabies – 3 years by challenge
The moral of the story here, if you have no idea when your pet is due or has been vaccinated, then just run a titer test and this will confirm if you are due, rather than over-vaccinate your poor pet, setting the stage for future problems!
What’s a titer test?
A titer test (pronounced tight-errr) is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet.
It’s also super useful when making a decision about vaccinating a pet with an unknown vaccination history, or for determining if pets have received immunity from vaccination.
Vaccinating your pet is super important so don’t lose the overall message here: VACCINATE, JUST DON’T OVER-VACCINATE!
According to Dr. Dodds:
“Vaccines have achieved many important benefits for companion animals, and has saved more animals' lives than any other medical advance.”

Seasons are fast approaching. Hoping to build enough of a waiting list to allow the mating to go ahead. If you are still interested please renew your interest by confirming with an inbox message with you email address so that I can firm up orders.
One of our happy owners with her special drop ear boy Blue. He did superbly well over the last two weekends showing in the Cape. Picking up 5 championship points and 5 Best Junior in Breed. He finished very nicely at all five shows placing in the groups and received lots of compliments from the foreign judges on his quality and type. A terrier specialist from New Zealand was quite taken with my breeding and asked after the bloodlines.
Sire. Ailsabute Presidential Man (drop ear) "Teddi". Dam. S.A. Ch Ailsabute First Lady (prick ear) "Nana".
All three boys in this litter are drop ears and all are doing very well in the show ring. Teddi produces very well and his offspring all have his lovely soft temperament.

I have a 9 year old English Springer in Richards Bay looking for a home as his owners are moving into a retirement village and sadly can't keep him. If you are in the Richards Bay/Durban area and are interested in adopting him kindly message me and I will put you in touch with his owners for interviews and meet and greet. Tom is a sweet sensitive boy who had been very loved. He is probably best suited to a home where someone is home in the day as he has been with a retired couple these last nine years.
How rescue legislation and destroying reputable breeders lands up creating bigger rescue problems and limiting your freedom to choose a well-bred balanced companion. Worth a read.
Under the proposal, the state would step in and prevent you from choosing a purebred puppy if you wanted to buy a pet through a retail pet store

So very sorry to hear that Sabrina, who is in the picture, has passed away. Her picture is quite iconic and has been used to help publicise Skyes at Discover Dogs etc. Sabrina shows that she enjoyed agility, her expression says it all. Her owner Darlene Sumner, who lives in Florida, posted today that she had lost her. Darlene has agreed that Sabrina's picture can be used to help promote Skyes and it will be used for this purpose. Sending Darlene our sympathies at this sad time.

Skye Terrier.
Known as The Heavenly Breed.
No other breed is like it. Unique in many ways and wonderful with children. In the Victorian and Edwardian eras this was easily the most popular dog in the UK. A favourite of Queens and Duchesses. It was once said no self respecting Duchess would be seen out and about without her elegant and dignified Skye.
We are going to have puppies. This year's one and only litter is due on 19 August. Pups will be ready for new homes at the end of October.
Litter size expected to be 6 puppies.
Enquiries welcome.
This foolish idea of ignoring scientific facts, combined with the ignorance that comes from self-delusion and self-deception, is likely to cause huge animal welfare problems as it leads to the creation of dogs with an absolutely unpredictable nature and physical make-up.
A new competitor for purebred dog breeders emerged some years ago. Heralding a new century, new achievements, new habits. Finally, the ‘evol...
SKYE TERRIER PUPPIES

This is Danny. And Danny's Skye Terrier Aramis. I saw them today at training. Danny and Aramis are inseparable. Trying to get Aramis to concentrate on training when his little person was over there... on the roundabouts and swings was a real challenge. Skyes are lovely faithful and gentle dogs with children. More nanny than the nanny breed. When training was over Aramis reunited with Danny went to watch over him with great concern on the roundabout.

SA Ladies KC show weekend. Feb 2016. Anni took 1x BOB. And Hogan 2x RBOB. A good weekend for our quality Skyes!
Ailsabute Principle Asset was BOB today at both shows and terrier Group 1 and Group 3. A super outing for this boy. His sister Ailsabute Prima Bellona was reserve best of breed. #teamAilsabute had a good day.
12 weeks old and ready for our new families. This morning we have discovered we love playing with old cool drink bottles. Athos and Porthos are available to loving homes and discerning owners who desire a rare Scottish terrier breed. The SKYE terrier is faithful loving and loyal pet. They remain young at heart for most of their lives and are known to be superbly intelligent. Skyes do well in agility, dog dancing and dog jumping. They have a keen sense of humour and like clowning around. They are happiest with their family and require minimal to moderate exercise. Coats can be maintained in a cute puppy clip or allowed to grow out making for a spectacular looking dog unique in its beauty. Enquire on this page or by private message.
