Thanks Donna

Scottish Terriers RULE 2010!!!

I am so SICK and TIRED of breeders running down of other breeders! PLEASE listen, keep up with the HSUS and PETA PET LAWS. They will hurt the show breeders and the  rescue organizations! For years PETA has used the words back yard breeders, puppy mills and now a new word puppy farms! PLEASE BREEDERS,  if your pedigrees are the best in the world,  good! You have worked hard for your pedigree and your breeding program, but your talking about every breeder that does not show will bite not only the non show breeder in the bottom , but the show breeder too! Look on the internet, join Anti Peta on Yahoo Groups, Join Pet Laws, another great group. Keep up with the pet laws in your area, please! Oprah has joined the band wagon, and that will hurt us all! Show breeders, commercial breeders, cat breeders, non show dog breeders.

For years the show breeders,  have called the non show breeders, back yard breeders. At the same time the non show breeders have called the larger breeders or commercial breeders, “puppy mills”. Let’s be honest, there are breeders that abuse and neglect their dogs, and need to be turned in to the authorities. Yes, I agree, and there is one right here in Alabama, that I have worked a Humane Society about the breeder. I will rescue any of the Scotties and Chihuahuas that they need rescuing in the future. I will NOT get on the bandwagon to call every breeder a puppy mill, puppy farm or any other negative phrase, as that is what PETA wants!

I have sold ten times less puppies than a show breeder that I know is one of the top in the breed, that I own. I would not call her a mill.  When did we start calling our pets companions?They are pets! Your hubby, or significant other is your companion!  Another PETA phrase! Get involved with your state laws reguarding pet ownership! I love Oprah, I may take her advice on a book to read, but she said she would NEVER buy from a breeder again! Do you know how many people will listen to her, and go to the pound? Think about what you put on your web page, or keep running down every breeder, and let the laws pass, and you too will only be able to own two intact dogs!

hi donna,
my name is mary s. you probably don’t remember me because it’s been a long time since we met. i used to live in pensacola and my good friend gary L. bought one of your brindle male puppies back in 2001. a girlfriend of mine and i, along with my son came to your house to pick him up for gary in december of that year. about 3 months later gary was having some health issues and the puppy ended up being too much for him to handle so he gave him to me. sadly to say, gary passed away in 2004. i sure miss his crazy self. gary had named him bogan and i really didn’t care for the name so much, but thought i should keep it since that was what he had been calling him. one day not long after that, my son said we should have named him the peabody. i asked him why and he said because he pees more than anybody i’ve ever seen! needless to say the name stuck and he is now called the peabody. he seems to like his name
my parents were elderly and once i got a job transfer, i moved back to birmingham in 2006 to help take care of them. they both passed away in 2006 and i also found out that i had cancer of the larynx that same year. that was a most unfun year. i went through all the chemo and radiation and was terribly sick for most of that summer. i’m fine now and the dr’s don’t anticipate a recurrance.
the reason i’m telling you all this, is i wanted to let you know that the peabody has been an absolute jewel of a dog. i’ve had several scotties over the years and grew up with them also and i’ve still got my old man, mactavish who is going on 15. he’s doing pretty well to be his age but i know it’s just a matter of time before he crosses over the rainbow bridge. he and the pea get along famously!
when i was off work for several months and so sick, peabody never left my side. i’d lie on the sofa most of the time and he would perch himself right by my head and would not move unless i did. now he follows my every step. right now he’s under my feet while i’m typing this! i lost my brother suddenly this past january and pea knew something was wrong because i was so upset. he never left my side. anyway, i know i’m rambling… but i just wanted to thank you for breeding such a wonderful dog and how happy i am that he’s my companion. he has the best personality and is a super friendly dog. and he likes to talk! he’s so funny and makes me laugh. whoever thinks a dog’s life is rough should come to my house and see the boys. they have got it made.
hope you are well and have a happy thanksgiving! mary

Sallie and Maggie:
Good morning Donna,

Just a note to show you what My Maggie looks like now at 9 years old. Its been quite awhile since we got her from you and you encouraged us to not give up on our little TERROR. It was the best decision I ever made. My husband was gravely ill with cancer and passed away in 2007, Maggie was HIS dog..and she stayed near his bedside, on his bed, where ever he was till the end..and even then stayed near HIS stuff. If ever there was a dog as faithful as Maggie I can’t even imagine. Its a quality that should be mentioned..she was a constant source of enjoyment, happiness and never let him down. Afterwards when I was so devasted at MY loss..she stayed by my side and helped me to get through my loss, too. It will be 3 years in April but I treasure my time with her and know she felt my loss, too. I’ve never been disappointed with our choice to adopt her from you and I once again would like to thank you for such a high quallity, standard of dog..Your earning your wings, too..!!

Big hugs from,
Sally and MAGGIE

Colors of Scottish Terriers are wheaten, black , and brindle. Some brindle Scottish Terriers are red brindle scotties, some are silver brindle scottish terriers and some are mostly black with some salt and pepper here and there. Some are black with some red coloring. Scottish Terriers are wonderful dogs, but PLEASE research the breed. Scottie puppies and adults are not for everyone.
