How did you get into breeding?
I started with my family in the mid’70s with field trial Labradors, later Clumber Spaniels, and GWP. I have always focused on good-looking, good-working, happy, healthy family companions who are successful in a wide variety of competitions. Scotia dogs have earned well over 100 titles in conformation, agility, obedience, hunt tests, field trials, tracking, and much more.
What makes your breeding program special?
My ongoing emphasis is on producing dogs who meet the written standard for appearance and the unwritten standard for working ability. This is a breed created to have many jobs as a hunting dog and I strive to retain that work ethic in all of my dogs. Whether they are hunting dogs, show dogs, family companions, or all of the above, Scotia dogs are always bred and raised to be sensible and kind.
