Welcome to The Scotia Kennel

The Scotia Kennel is a breeder of German Wirehaired Pointers. As our name implies, The Scotia Kennel was named after our family heritage, my mother was almost entirely Scottish, and my father’s family emigrated from England to Nova Scotia, which means, “New Scotland” in Latin. Our Scotiadawgs are born and raised in Oregon, in a loving environment with affection and boundaries.

  • I do enjoy this show immensely. I’m in a rural area, and just started showing in 2010. I feel a bit isolated, sometimes. It’s great to hear the history, the passion and the ideals of people in this realm.

  • The knowledge that is available in these podcasts is amazing! We are so lucky to live in an age where we can learn straight from the judges, breeders and top handlers yet be across the country from them!

  • I flipping love this show. It's great for both the aspiring novice, and seasoned owner. The topics are varied, and touch on many subjects relevant to the purebred dog fancier. And the host is down to earth, funny, and very enjoyable to listen to... her enthusiasm and honesty make this podcast a joy to listen to.
