We have reached a big milestone!
We now have over 100 dogs listed in the OFA Health database and 41 dogs listed in the CHIC database showing our commitment to testing parents and puppies to provide families with the healthiest puppies possible. Read more about these on our FAQ Page.
We had a BLAST on Saturday, September 7th, 2024, at The College of Wooster (Ohio) as they hosted 50+ Scotties and their families at the second "Archie Ambassador Day" at their football stadium. We were VIP guests for their field hockey and football game that day. We got to see some of our Afterglow Families from hundreds of miles away that came for the event. We also made new friends too!
Everyone from Wooster was so wonderful and the students just swarmed the Scotties with many sharing that they missed their dogs back home and were so grateful we were there. The bagpiper band and parade were certainly highlights as well. Our "Epic" inflatable Scottie was draped in Wooster's school colors for the day and it seemed like everyone had their picture taken in front of him.
Check out the nice video the College of Wooster put together on their Facebook post.
We wore our kilts purchased from The Piper's Hut near us and our Scottie's wore their wonderful handmade kilts from Cozy Coats for Pets by Louisa. We cannot recommend enough how fabulous Louisa's artistry is. The dogs looked smashing and they knew it!
There were also veterinary technicians on hand at the Wooster event to collect samples to contribute to the Scottish Terrier Club of America HTF DNA Bank. These samples will be used by current and future researchers to investigate the causes of illnesses affecting our beloved Scotties including cancer, cramp, Cerebellar Abiotrophy (CA), liver shunt and others.
If you have a Scottie and would like to help the future of the breed, please participate! Most vets do not charge for the blood draw sample and the kit can be sent directly to your home.
This can include mixed-scotties as well as purebred. All Scottie DNA matters!
