Scottish Terriers have been immortalized in high art and pop culture more than any other breed of dog.

Sittin' Pretty !!!!

The Scottish Terrier

The Scottish Terrier is a fearlessly loyal companion with a fun-living and independent spirit. One of the most recognized of all the terriers, these wee, wire-haired dogs were originally bred to be working farm dogs and helped keep the farms of the Scottish Highlands free of varmints like foxes, mice and rats. Today most Scottish Terriers are household companions and not working farm dogs, however they can still show the purpose for which they were bred by competing in Earthdog Trials, You will also find them competing very successfully in the obedience, rally and agility rings.

They have been very successful in dog shows. To date, there have been seven different Scotties who have won Best in Show at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club show in New York City. The last Scottie to win Best in Show at Westminster was "Ch. Gaelforce Post Script" in 1995.

Many famous people have enjoyed the company of these spunky little dogs. Perhaps the most recognized have been those who have lived in the White House. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had a beloved companion named “Fala” and President & Mrs George W. Bush have two Scotties – “Barney” and “Miss Beazley”.

All present day Scottie pedigrees can trace their beginnings back to three specific black dogs from the 1800s – A female named “Splinter II” and two males, “UK Ch Alistar” and “UK Ch Dundee”.

BOO puppies are howlin' at the moon !!!

After you've been owned by a Scottie, ....everything else is just a DOG !!!!

We would like to thank everyone who has called, e-mailed, adopted a Scottie (sometimes two !) or has shown interest in our Scotties....

We have had some amazing, healthy puppies. – BREEDING HEALTHY, HAPPY SCOTTIES IS NO ACCIDENT ! We genetically test all of our breeding stock (males AND females) for vWD prior to breeding.

Working closely with our vet, we plan our future litters, deciding who to breed with whom. If you are interested in a Scottie, give us a call or send us an email. We will add your name to our waiting list, with NO FEE or OBLIGATION !!

Through our breeding program, we strive to maintain the health and integrity of the Scottish Terrier breed while also selectively breeding for Health, Temperament, and to the AKC Standard.

We are honest, reputable breeders. We do NOT have puppies all the time - that's why we use a waiting list.

All of our breeding stock and all of our puppies are AKC registered.

We are proud members of the East Coast Quality Breeders Association (ECQBA).

We have performed genetic testing on all of our breeding stock for vonWillenbrand's (vWD) disease. All of our breeding stock is "clear" of vWD.

Our male "Red" has a Champion grandfather, with many champions on both sides of his 5-generation pedigree.

Our Male "Silky" is Champion sired, with multiple champions on both sides of his pedigree. Of the 30 possible descendants in 5 generations, 23 of his ancestors are Champions !!

Welcome to Shady Nook Scottie Farm's website!

If you love Scotties like we do, or are just curious about them, please take the time to browse our website and learn more about this big dog in a little dog body !! Check back often to see what's going on at Shady Nook Scottie Farm. We update pictures on the website weekly !!

We believe that by breeding our males (with outstanding champions in their background) to our great-tempered females produces a Scottie with a wonderful temperament. This insures that our customers are getting a great-looking AKC Scottish Terrier that is fun, friendly, and a lifetime companion.

Our Scotties are good with children, and become very attached to their family.   They are naturally inclined to get along with other pets. We have had several repeat buyers !!

Many people are unaware that Scotties come in a variety of colors. Colors can be black, brindle, black brindle, red brindle, silver brindle, and wheaten.  We have all colors of Scotties.

           Scotties will adapt to the activity level of your family -   they love to do what you love to do.

I have been a fan of Suzanne Renaud's artwork for 5 years. I have several of her prints, and use her Christmas cards every year. You will find several examples of her artwork on our website. If you want to know more about this talented artist, click

More than 20 years ago, while living in Colorado, we had our first 2 Scotties - Rhett & Scarlett. Because of a job transfer, we were unable to keep them and our friends Glenda & Lou promised to take really good care of them. So, with heavy hearts, we left Rhett & Scarlett in Colorado. Then, years later, we found Nessie. She is the only Scottie that we have completely raised from a pup ... and she is the one who is the cause of all of this !!!!

Shady Nook Farm was started as a labor of love. We waited for 9 months to find Nessie, and we fell in love with her immediately. We had never bred anything until Nessie found us. Once we decided that we wanted to breed and raise Scotties, we did extensive research into the breed, the pedigrees, and health issues associated with Scotties. We have acquired the best pedigrees we could find in order to produce excellent pets for people just like us - Scottie lovers.

In the time that we have been breeding Scotties, we have become very well known across the USA and are proud to say that we have received references from several veterinarians in other states.

We are committed to providing our puppy buyers with the healthiest, best Scottie that we can breed. Please look through our website, and give us a call if you have questions or comments. And, please, sign our guestbook !!!!

We breed, raise, and love Scottish Terriers in a family environment with attention to reputable breeding practices. We maintain a waiting list for puppy buyers and seldom have enough puppies to go around, so contact us if you are interested in a puppy and we can add you to the wait list.

We are breeding Scotties because.....

1). We love the breed,

2). We want to improve the breed, and

3). We want others to enjoy the breed.
