I was thinking of getting another Cavalier and was talking to a breeder. She asked me what kind of dogs I had. I told her and told her I recently just lost my beloved westie of 12 years and I was shocked/appauled by her comment "Oh I don’t like those dogs". It actually hurt my feelings. I thought your not a nice person. I just told you I lost my dog and you say that? I quickly just got off of the phone with her and thought I wouldn't consider getting a puppy from a person like her !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019053977448723280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888324794387097219.post-80908917339699928102016-01-14T12:53:24.031-05:002016-01-14T12:53:24.031-05:00A well meaning person of faith smiled sadly at my ...A well meaning person of faith smiled sadly at my rescue scottie senior and said; "It is too bad they do not have a soul".

She saw our Hamish asleep at my feet and asked if we ever allowed him to stud. I replied we didn't do that that all of our dogs were fixed. As she walked away, she said our Yorke and YOURS would make such cute puppies. I took a deep breath and said, our dog is not a yorkie, he is a scottie! And this woman then said, well, I don't see any difference! I still wonder if she really owned a scottie and thought it was a yorkie, or she was just a nutcase!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888324794387097219.post-85906860741886309502015-04-21T07:29:11.322-04:002015-04-21T07:29:11.322-04:00Our Duffy is the best dog I have ever had the plea...Our Duffy is the best dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and he's a rescue!

My last two Scotties were rescues. I would love a puppy but that won't happen. The love from a rescue is nothing there is. My current one bonded with me the moment I picked her up. She spent her first two years in a extremely bad puppy and missed her puppyhood and don't know a lot of things like giving kisses. Her love for me is so deep. She is extremely smart. She has her problems but if I went through what she has I would have problems too. We just work through them. I wouldn't give her up for all the money in the world. We will always be together forever. I will be buried with all my Scotties. As long as I live I will have a Scotty from a rescue. I would have more but Bonnie is not receptive. I could have six. There is no other breed than a Scotty.Edward Monroenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4888324794387097219.post-15240998970813260502015-04-20T15:38:54.680-04:002015-04-20T15:38:54.680-04:00When we took our rescue Junie and she kept comment...When we took our rescue Junie and she kept commenting that she was fat I snapped and said "ya know, I would rather her be fat instead of a starving bag of bones. And she also commented that she was extremely shy. I had to also say.. well, if you were cooped up in a cage all day and ignored, you would be too'. I shut our Vet up real fast. We have had Junie for 5 years now and she has lost some weight and come out of she shell some.

They are all so different. Once a friend (who has Scottish ancestry) ; he visited us alone in CT but is from the Bay Area. He had just had his fifth child and also decided to get a scottie puppy!! Well that did not turn our well. Some people need to understand that Scotties are not labs!! They need to be puppies when there is not a baby or little kids around who might also need Mom and Dad's attention. But given the right people and a firm training (just as I did my daughter)..they are just the best breed in the world.

I also have a black and a wheaten scottie and have given the same spiel as you in #5 many times. As for #4, my wheaten scottie(6 year old) is just about 25 pounds, my black scottie(12.5 years old) is 35 pounds – while his shape has spread a bit over the years, he is not fat – he is a large scottie though. #3 also proved true to me – I finally realized my dog was better at choosing a boyfriend than I was! #2 – the person who got bitten knew it was his fault! #1 Three of the four scotties I have had have been rescues – I have never regretted my choices as all of them have been wonderful companions in every way!

Our Chaplin is 38 pounds of Muscle. When he runs its like a Hover Craft. He's not fat. Just a BIg Scot. <br><br>#3. This is simple. My Scotties come first, my Husband is way ok with that (like he has a choice) they come first with him as well. I have three Scotties and one that I get all the time from peoplpe standing with thier children, that isnt listed is. "Which one is your favorite" I turn the question around and ask them "Which one is your favorite" Then they realize that just ask a stupid question.<br><br>#2. Our Maddie was Queen Bee and could dimiss people with the best of them. She was like a queen that would let her followers touch the hem of her gown as she passed by, and that was the lucky ones. She would simply walk away as if she was saying "you have been dismissed" I loved this the most about her. She demanded respect and always receive it. <br><br>#1. Whenever Im out and about with my "Kids", as I so lovingly refer to them. Im ask do you BREED them, I say NO they are all rescue's, they are shocked, and comment they are so beautiful and well behaved. Thats when I go into my rescue speech regarding all the breed specific rescues. Makes them think. Most poeple are not aware of every breed having their own rescue groups.
