Welcome to Cultons Scottish Terriers.
Thank you for stopping by to see my Scotties!
THE SCOTTISH TERRIER!! The Scottie is a Medium Sized breed dog. AKC breed standard is 10 inches in height by 10 inches in length. The AKC standard for this breed is 19 to 22 pounds. The can be smaller but should not be bigger than 22 pounds.This breed is loyal and loving but prefers to be on their own program not yours. This is not a lap dog type breed, however they are very attentive and you will mostly find them sleeping by your feet. THIS IS NOT A GOOD FAMILY DOG WITH SMALL CHILDREN!! A breeder who tells you differently is just trying to make a quick buck.. This is sad for the breed, because this dog will end up in rescue.! The Scottie can be very aloof at times ,this breed is very cat like in personality. . Often times you can sit and call them for what seems like FOREVER and they just sit and look at you. They seem to be saying--"" I`m right here,, what do you want?. Do I really have to go over there-? Can`t you just tell me what you want from over there?" This breed is loaded with personality, I have yet to find two Scotties that had the same personality.I have been breeding this breed for over a decade and have had the pleasure to be in the company of many Scotties.. The Scottish Terrier comes in MANY different colors. Black Brindle, Black, Brindle, Wheaten ,Silver Brindle. Red Brindle. Wheaten can come in a variety of colors-- Red, caramel. light buff, Mahogany,and brown. Brindle is the original color of the breed --NOT BLACK! Most people that have not had a Scottish Terrier and see one on the street, THINK they are looking at a black dog. NO SO> Brindle in this breed can appear black. If you want black, you have to be VERY careful in choosing a pup. Black-brindle and brindle can be passed off to first time-- second time purchasers as black. The purchaser finds out different when puppy is clipped and the brindle coat comes out. For more info on the Scottie and how to choose a breeder and pup, Please go to the How To Screen A Breeder Section of this web site. When I built this site, the goal was not to sell Scottie pups. The Goal was and still is to Inform and educate the Scottie lover as to how to buy a properly bred pup and how to screen a breeder. There are SO many out there that do not research the breed, they just put male and female together and make pups.. NOT COOL..
If you would like to talk Scottie, or to inquire on how to obtain a Scottish Terrier, please EMAIL ONLY--PHONE IS BROKEN . Please send to LAINIE at jasonlainie1@aol.com

I NOW HAVE TAKEN IN A RESCUE FEMALE--SHE IS WHEATEN. PERFECT IN BUILD AND TEMPERAMENT!! SHE HAS NO HEALTH ISSUES> REG DENTAL< VET CARE> UTD ON SHOTS< WORMINGS< ECT>> I have also taken in a mini schnauzer. Both are looking for a new forever home!! If you would like to see either of them, please send me an email at jasonlainie1@aol.com . I will gladly send you pictures.
HOW TO PROPERLY SCREEN A BREEDER!! The JOB of the breeder is to EDUCATE the buyer on the breed. ALL BREEDS. If the Breeder is NOT willing to give, or is not educated about, the latest info on Health issues, breed issues, ect-- they are doing you a disservice. Professional Breeder consider AKC breed standards BEFORE breeding their dogs. They do not breed dogs with Obvious flaws just for $$!!! Breeders should NOT breed their dogs because they are cute or because they need money! SCREEN YOUR BREEDER WELL!! Info on how to screen a breeder below.
In this section you will find how to screen a breeder. I decided to add this section when I got to many emails from people not schooled on diseases, conformation or temperament of the breed. Just because you have had a Scottie or two, does not mean you know this breed! You have been familiarized to it but not all Scotties are created equally! You must screen for health , ect.. YOU must make sure your breeder is educated on the breed and not just breeding for $$$ !! To do this there is a series of questions you should ask your breeder. Here is where I start when I am looking for a puppy.
#1) How long have you been breeding this breed? I found that when George Bush was President MANY,MANY people jumped on the back of the Scottish Terrier for $$$ and $$ only! The breed became popular with the introduction of Barney and Beasley and MANY unprofessional breeders bought mill dogs and flooded the market with them. ASK if they bred BEFORE the BUSH family got into the White House! It is faulse that breeders who have been breeding for 20 Plus years know the breed very well. SO SCREEN THEM FOR DISEASE GOOD! These breeders get comfortable with their breeding program and do not test for genetic illnesses. Some do not even study the breed anymore and are not up to date on diseases. A good breeder will always study the breed, NO ONE will ever know everything about the breed. We need to study all of the time! A respectable breeder will also only breed proper stock. This is a Scottish Terrier that actually meets AKC standard. Short tail-- NOT LONG AND CURLY.. SHort little eras, set on top of the head. Not Big goofy ears on the side of head.. Back is to be SHORT-- NOT long . Scottie is to be SHORT in stature. Not tall. Coat is to be floor length, you can see good thick coat at 8 weeks. Snout should be LONG not short. You can look at the AKC breed standard for Scottish TErriers at http://www.akc.org. Your Breeder should ALWAYS show the breeding pair, or at least the breeding bitch to those who visit pups. If they used outside stud, they should give you all info possible on this stud. Including a picture to view and the full pedigree. BOTH breeding dogs should be tested for vWD BEFORE being bred. ALL CA ratios should be done before breeding the pair. NO EXCEPTIONS>.
#2) ALL BREEDERS should EDUCATE YOU, The purchaser, on their lines, History behind the lines, The dogs that bred, and the breed! YOU should be educated on The the diseases related to the breed,proper health care, ect.. I don`t care if you`ve had 100 puppies! I will educate you on pup care, breed info, my scotties lines, ect>>.. I find a breeder that is unwilling to educate you, he/she only interested in $$. BEWARE of these breeders!
#3) Ask about DISEASES> ALL BREEDERS have some disease in their history. If you call a breeder, ask what diseases they have had, and they say NONE-- MOVE ON! Either they have not been breeding long enough to have a disease or they are not being truthful. There are some basic diseases that ALL purchasers should be educated on. These are -- vWD, Scottie Cramp., CMO, LIver Shunts, Bladder ,Liver AND Kidney Cancers, Cushings, Lymphoma, ect.. There is only one that can be tested for-- vWD. You can ask your breeder to please send you a copy of their CLEAR vWD certificate. I`ll try to print mine here so you can see it. If I can not you are welcome to email me , I can send it to you so you know what to look for. ASK your breeder oif they are familiar with CA (Cerebellar Abiotrophy). This is a BIG one right now in the breed. Make sure either you screen the breeding or the breeder did BEFORE the breeding took place.
When asking your breeder about vWD, make sure they tested their dogs BEFORE breeding. If a Breeder tells you they vWD test their puppies through the vet-- MOVE ON!
YOU DO NOT TEST PUPS FOR vWD. That is TO LATE! Afflicted dogs can bleed to death! Why breed for afflicted dog, this makes no sense! This test cost is $180 per dog. Most pet breeders will not test for it, so screen good!
#4) ASK your breder where they raise their pups. You will find home raised pups to have the best temperament. This is because they are with the breeder 24 hours of the day. Puppies should be socialized and played with. They should be kept clean and fed properly. They should not be to fat or to thin. Puppies should not be agressive or timid.Kennel raised dogs are not with humans all day. They see them on occasion. Most do not have toys , so they play with each other. This brings in dominance and submissive issues! When raised in the home the breeder can correct these problems when they arrise. Breeders should NOT give shots before 8 weeks of age. If given sooner the shot will fight the natural immunity mom has given pup. Thus pup becomes wide open for disease. Shots should be given 8,12,16 and 20 weeks of age. Some breeders will do only a 2 way shot at 9 weeks and then 12 weeks. They Tieter their dogs to see if the immunity is in the pup. If the nautral immunity is already there, a 5 to 7 way shot is completely unneeded. If this is the case get the Tieter paperwork for your vet..If a breeder tells you they give shots at 5,6, weeks of age--MOVE ON or ask them to hold off. If they refuse--MOVE ON! This is your new baby, make sure it is cared for properly BEFORE you bring it home. We do this with our children, we should do it with the pets we bring into our homes. I give shots at 8,12, and 16 weks. IN summer would like pups to be given at 20 weeks if you are in So Cal. We have HIGH parvo due to the constant year round heat! Your puppy should be wormed before you take it. You should also recieve a Vet Health Check paper or the Fax # to have your vet sent it to your vet. ALL PUPS SHOULD HAVE PAPERWORK ON HEALTH WHEN PLACED!!
#5) AKC is the ONLY acceptable registry. Any other registery is a puppy mill registry PLAIN AND SIMPLE! These registries are APR( American Pet Registry). CKC ( Continental Kennel Club ) , APRI ( American Pet Reg Inc> ) , AND IABCA ( International All Breed Canine Association) .. This is a FACT not a myth! DO NOT let a breeder tell you differently. If you do they are LYING to you. If they will lie about paperwork, registry , what else will they lie to you about? Taking a puppy out of a mill is not saving a life. It is actually making room for a new puppy to fill that place. These are nasty places , they keep dogs in cages, ect.. I will post a picture of a puppy mill on this web site.. PLEASE BUYER BEWARE of these places. Remember CKC, APRI, APR ,IABCA, are all Puppy MIll registries. Even if the breeder obtained two pups reg as CKC and is not a puppy mill. They still breed puppy mill stock, thus they promote disease and bad conformation/temperament. Please be aware that when you buy that cute puppy in the pet store-- IT DID COME FOR A MILL! This is also a fact. I do not care what the Pet Store has told you. They are telling fairy tales. NO responsibe or caring breeder will put their pups in a pet store. All responsible breeders want to meet the purchaser, screen the purchaser, and if they are like me they want to stay in contact with the pup for its lifetime. This is to keep up on temperament and health of the breeding dogs lines. Pet stores do not keep these records for breeders and do not screen potential buyers! doesn`t this say something! PET STORES PROMOTE PUPPY MILLS THIS IS A FACT! Even if the pet store says-- I do not buy from puppy mills, ask yourself, what breeder raises pups then does not want to know where they will live--People who bred for money only.! These dogs are bought online for $350 and sold to the pet store purchaser for $900 up. SCREEN YOUR BREEDER WELL.. WHEN YOU SEE CHAMPION LINES- MAKE THE BREEDER PROVE IT.. AKC IS THE ONLY EXCEPTABLE REGISTRY AND HAS THE ONLY EXCEPTABLE CHAMPIONS!!! YOU CAN SCREEN ALL BREEDERS PEDIGREE ON THE STCA HOME PAGE-- HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF, MY SCOTTIE , REAL AKC CH OFFSPRING . . http://www.stca.biz/cgi/pedigree/geneal.pl?op=tree&index=93148&gens=5&db=scottishterrier.dbw THIS IS WHAT A REAL AKC CH LINED DOG LOOKS LIKE ON PAPER.. MAKE YOUR BREEDER PROVE THEY HAVE CH LINES IF THEY PROMOTE THEM. ASK FOR PEDIGREE BEFORE YOU BUY.. SCREEN IT WELL.. There are other registries out there calling dogs Champion, but some of these are paid for championships. Meaning you send in money and they give you a ch title! AKC does NOT do this, dog will earn CH based on performance.
#6) Your breeder should educate you on foods. Corn, wheat and Soy are no good for Dogs. Dogs are Celiac! Not only are dogs celiac-- 90% of commerical dog food is made with deceased DOGS and cats killed in shelters.. this means the food you buy from the store and consider safe-- is really full of toxins.. pumped in by a selter or vet to KILL a dog or cat! I have this link I would like to share with you about dog food ingredients.. It is EXTREMELY graphic. Please do not watch if you have a weak stomach. This explains why I only use the food on the link I have provided. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9DTzDfYMxo&feature=share
I suggest NO grocery store brand food. PLEASE DO NOT FEED ANTHI G WITH PROTEIN MEAL!! I use only the best organic food for my dogs. I have included the food info on to the third page of this web site ( http://www.scottieschoice.com ) .i I like this food because not only does it not contain shelter and vet kills, It is made with only the finest organic and free range ingredients. Pet Product Formulator, Dr. Jane Bicks, DVM, holds bi-monthly calls that anyone can participate in. At the beginning of each call, Dr. Jane provides in-depth answers to any questions participants have about our products for companion animals. We hope you will join us for these regularly scheduled conference calls. To participate, simply dial 561-515-1695 at the appropriate time, and enter 224012# after the prompt. The next Dr. Jane call is scheduled for Wednesday, April 6th at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time. This food also offers a Pet Insurance Program. You will find it at the bottom of the page. It is in blue- Pet Insurance. The code for the pet insurance is LA2893 . So far I have not found another dog food that offers these services.( http://www.scottieschoice.com) I also feed a multivitamin. It is all natural and organic. I get it at http://www.nuvet.com the order code for that vitamn is 742909.However the http://www.scottieschoice.com site also offers vitamins, I do not use them, I prefer the nuvet and have had beter succes with this particular vitamin. . Vets will say -- Your dogs don`t need a multivitamin, the dogs get what they need form the food. I have to ask-- DO you take a multivitamin? Why do you take it, you eat right? You eat better than your dog, Right? Well if you do not get all you need from food , How would the dog get all they need from Bagged or canned DOG FOOD? It`s a common sense issue here! Vitamins also help build bones in puppies. With a large boned breed;; as the scotties are, you want to promote as much bone growth as you can. I like all of my pups to stay on the nuevt vitamins for the first year of life.
Please be aware that IMAS and EUKANUBA were just both recalled in July and August of 2010! IAMS puppy again in 12-2011!! If you are using a food other than what I am recommending, you can go to the Dog Food Info page and compare your brand to the brand I recommend. You can compare both Ingredients AND Price per serving. When I sell a puppy I recommend the use of this food. If the purchaser agrees to stay on this food/vitamins , I will give a 10 YEAR HEALTH GUARANTEE ON THE PUPPY! If your Scotties dies before 10 years of age, I will GIVE you a FREE puppy! The food/vitamins that I recommed must be the ONLY food used. Ask me how to get a LIfe Time Guarantee on your pup. Can your breeder offer you a LIfe Time Guarantee on health?? For more on dog food, recalls, ect.. please go to http://www.thedogplace.org/Nutrition/Articles.asp .
You will never find the dog food I am recommending on this site or a recall list. It has never been recalled. ON this link you can learn about floride in foods. Ect. I use a dog food that is DRY processed it is the 2% that does not have added floride. I have added the food info to the third page of this web site.
7) This is the easiest Screening info I can give you.. If a breeder calls their dogs, Tawny, Blonde,
Buff, or WheatOn, AND ISSUES FULL AKC TO ALL BUYERS - MOVE ON! This ia CASH breeder only. They breed the breed and are not familiar with the most basic of info! BAD NEWS THERE, MOVE ON! All breeders should know what they are doing before it happens. Responsible breders limit puppies. They do this to protect the bred- AND YOU THE BUYER. Only high quality pups should be bred, not pet quality pups. NO-- Every pup born to a show breeding is not a show pup. Therefor not all pups in a pet litter are show quality. ONLY show quality dogs should be bred. They should be graded by a professional handler before doing so. GOAL of the breeder is to retain the AKC standard of the breed-- not just make any pup and sell it will full breding rights.
#8)Scotties are GREAT with kids ONLY if they are started off with kids. If kennel raised and not socialized I wouldn`t trust one with my kids. Make sure if you have kids , you MEET THE BREEDER< You see how pups are kept and you take your kids to see how the dogs interact.. Meet the Dog parents! Make sure they are VERY social in temperamant..Temeramant is heriditary. If you have never had a scottie before and you have small children. I suggest to you a different breed. Maybe a lab or a cocker.. NOT A SCOTTIE>>Scottie WILL bite your small children if they play rough..
#9) You should ALWAYS get a Sales Contract and Health Guarantee. The State of California has a 10 day warranty period for contagious diseases. PARVO<DISTEMPER< ECT.. 10 FULL DAYS. Get it in writing and make sure your breeder knows this. Ask them if they give 10 days BEFORE buying. ALL breeders should know the laws in their state. You should also get at least a one year health gaurantee. There are TO MANY diseases in this breed that DO NOT show until 6 months to one year. Make sure you are covered in case your new puppy comes down with CMO, CA < Epilepsy or something else. When A breeder does not stand behind the breeding and does not issue a health guarantee , I have to wonder why? Do they know of bad health and are not saying anything? Californian LAW states you can get a full refund if your dogs has a genetic -hereditary crippling condition by YEAR ONE!! Make your breeder give you a WRITTEN full year guarantee. If they do not--Dont buy. Please be aware that a REAL well bred scottie can will run from $1200 to $3000. I have paid up to $2600 for a proper breeding female. If you are looking for a cheap puppy ( $300 to $1000) , please don`t waste my time with inquiries! I do not refer commercial breeders or puppy mills. These are the ONLY breeders selling scotties for these
cheap prices!
#10) I find this to be the biggest-- ALL BREEDERS SHOULD GIVE BACK TO RESCUE!! If you create it you take responsibility for it. I will take back any of my pups that I have placed if they do not work out. So far in 13 years I have taken back 2 puppies! I do rescue,I am NOT ASSOCIATED WITH STCA`s SCOTTIE RESCUE or Carol Herd!.. I do it on my own. I will go to mills and rescue dogs and then place them.I will also take in unwanted scotties, retrain them, get vet care, grooming , ect..ALL breeders should give this to the breed. I will home a sick dog until it is better, then find it a home. Breeders that love the breed will do this. These breeders are my kind of people. If you love the breed-- it is not just what you have bred it is the ENTIRE BREED! When I have no rescue dogs to place I donate $100 from each puppy sale to our local shelter. I do this with FOOD,BLANKETS, TOYS,bowls and SHOTS!
#11) If you see on any breeder site, of any breed---- AKC certified. The AKC has inspected our facility. The AKC inspects over 5000 facilities per year and makes sure they are clean, not puppy mills, ect.. KNow this is put up by puppy mills to sell puppies. AKC is NOT the dog police!! AKC DOES NOT AND HAS NEVER done home inspections of kennels or breeding programs. What the AKC does do is audit the breeders paperwork. THATS ALL! They screen paperwork of breeders that have MORE than 6 litters per year.. Get that 6 litters per year.. This means at least 6 to 12 breeding females.. They want to see that the pups sold-- are living with the people sold to. They do not check kennels, yards, dogs, ect.. IF A BREEDER PUT THIS ON THEIR SITE TO PERSUADE YOU TO BUY A PUPPY, WHAT ELSE WILL THEY TELL YOU THAT IS FALSE?? Use common sense when screening your breeder. ALSO the AKC will NOT audit breeders until they have OVER 5 litters per year. I like to breed only one to three litters per year. I have three mature breedable feamles, They have three litters in a ifetime. THAT`S ALL!! Each is bred once a year--IF they want to breed. I DO NOT make my dogs breed to make $$!! I had one female that went 3 YEARs in between her first and last litters. NO litters in between. WHY -- because I dont make my dogs breed.. I HAVE A JOB! ( http://www.chartreuseproducts.com/lculton.html) . You should also be aware that some call their kennels AKC registered. There is no such thing as an AKC reg kennel. There are on ly AKC Reg. Kennel Names. These are names of the breeders kennels. They are registered so another breeder does not use thier name! It also helps tell who the breeder of this dog is! Thats all folks!
These are the things I consider when I am thinking of getting a Scottie. This is a new member of your family and he/she should have the best start in life. This will promote a long lifetime..
I am NOT a member of the STCA or the STCC. However I do follow their strict Code of Ethics. I do not know the club members! Club members have not met my dogs, been to my home, seen my property, ect.. This is a fact! You can find the code of Ethics at the STCA web site http://www.stca.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=59&Itemid=141
Show breeders VS Pet breeders---- If you are looking for a pet, and you go to a dog show. Inquire on a pet breeder and you are told-- That breeder is a puppy mill. Consider the source first.. and then ask, Have you been to this breeders house, have you seen their dogs, puppies, ect? Then investigate for yourself!
The real LEGAL COURT ISSUED definition of a ""Puppy Mill"" -- PLEASE READ! .
A "puppy mill" is a dog breeding operation in which the HEALTH of the dog is DISREGUARDED in order to maintain low-overhead and Maximize Profits.--
Aveson VS Zegart 577.F Supp 958-960 ( D.Minn 1984)
PUppy Mills creat dogs with health problems and do not acknowledge it! PERIOD!! ... Screen your breeder before you buy. BELOW A PICTURE OF PUPPY MILL A REAL ONE!!! NOT A MANUFACTORED FABRICATION !! THE PICTURE IS SMALL BUT YOU GET THE IDEA. Here is a very interesting article written by a Conformation Exhibitor http://www.thedogplace.org/Breeder/ShowDog/Help-Hurt-Purebreds-01_Cordingley.asp . It is YOUR responsibility as the buyer to VISIT your new puppy`s home, See the sire and dam. See how your pup was raised, as far as conditions, training, socializing, ect. It is YOUR responsibility to get the proper paperwork. Make sure your breeder gives you pedigrees, or access to them, vet records, shot records, worming info, AKC papers- some hold akc back until spay/neuter, this is also OK,. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure in your mind and heart that you KNOW you are not supporting a puppy mill. This is YOUR new Baby - He/ She will spend his/her lifetime with YOU , not the breeder. Make sure you do your homework!
#1) How long have you been breeding this breed? I found that when George Bush was President MANY,MANY people jumped on the back of the Scottish Terrier for $$$ and $$ only! The breed became popular with the introduction of Barney and Beasley and MANY unprofessional breeders bought mill dogs and flooded the market with them. ASK if they bred BEFORE the BUSH family got into the White House! It is faulse that breeders who have been breeding for 20 Plus years know the breed very well. SO SCREEN THEM FOR DISEASE GOOD! These breeders get comfortable with their breeding program and do not test for genetic illnesses. Some do not even study the breed anymore and are not up to date on diseases. A good breeder will always study the breed, NO ONE will ever know everything about the breed. We need to study all of the time! A respectable breeder will also only breed proper stock. This is a Scottish Terrier that actually meets AKC standard. Short tail-- NOT LONG AND CURLY.. SHort little eras, set on top of the head. Not Big goofy ears on the side of head.. Back is to be SHORT-- NOT long . Scottie is to be SHORT in stature. Not tall. Coat is to be floor length, you can see good thick coat at 8 weeks. Snout should be LONG not short. You can look at the AKC breed standard for Scottish TErriers at http://www.akc.org. Your Breeder should ALWAYS show the breeding pair, or at least the breeding bitch to those who visit pups. If they used outside stud, they should give you all info possible on this stud. Including a picture to view and the full pedigree. BOTH breeding dogs should be tested for vWD BEFORE being bred. ALL CA ratios should be done before breeding the pair. NO EXCEPTIONS>.
#2) ALL BREEDERS should EDUCATE YOU, The purchaser, on their lines, History behind the lines, The dogs that bred, and the breed! YOU should be educated on The the diseases related to the breed,proper health care, ect.. I don`t care if you`ve had 100 puppies! I will educate you on pup care, breed info, my scotties lines, ect>>.. I find a breeder that is unwilling to educate you, he/she only interested in $$. BEWARE of these breeders!
#3) Ask about DISEASES> ALL BREEDERS have some disease in their history. If you call a breeder, ask what diseases they have had, and they say NONE-- MOVE ON! Either they have not been breeding long enough to have a disease or they are not being truthful. There are some basic diseases that ALL purchasers should be educated on. These are -- vWD, Scottie Cramp., CMO, LIver Shunts, Bladder ,Liver AND Kidney Cancers, Cushings, Lymphoma, ect.. There is only one that can be tested for-- vWD. You can ask your breeder to please send you a copy of their CLEAR vWD certificate. I`ll try to print mine here so you can see it. If I can not you are welcome to email me , I can send it to you so you know what to look for. ASK your breeder oif they are familiar with CA (Cerebellar Abiotrophy). This is a BIG one right now in the breed. Make sure either you screen the breeding or the breeder did BEFORE the breeding took place.
When asking your breeder about vWD, make sure they tested their dogs BEFORE breeding. If a Breeder tells you they vWD test their puppies through the vet-- MOVE ON!
YOU DO NOT TEST PUPS FOR vWD. That is TO LATE! Afflicted dogs can bleed to death! Why breed for afflicted dog, this makes no sense! This test cost is $180 per dog. Most pet breeders will not test for it, so screen good!
#4) ASK your breder where they raise their pups. You will find home raised pups to have the best temperament. This is because they are with the breeder 24 hours of the day. Puppies should be socialized and played with. They should be kept clean and fed properly. They should not be to fat or to thin. Puppies should not be agressive or timid.Kennel raised dogs are not with humans all day. They see them on occasion. Most do not have toys , so they play with each other. This brings in dominance and submissive issues! When raised in the home the breeder can correct these problems when they arrise. Breeders should NOT give shots before 8 weeks of age. If given sooner the shot will fight the natural immunity mom has given pup. Thus pup becomes wide open for disease. Shots should be given 8,12,16 and 20 weeks of age. Some breeders will do only a 2 way shot at 9 weeks and then 12 weeks. They Tieter their dogs to see if the immunity is in the pup. If the nautral immunity is already there, a 5 to 7 way shot is completely unneeded. If this is the case get the Tieter paperwork for your vet..If a breeder tells you they give shots at 5,6, weeks of age--MOVE ON or ask them to hold off. If they refuse--MOVE ON! This is your new baby, make sure it is cared for properly BEFORE you bring it home. We do this with our children, we should do it with the pets we bring into our homes. I give shots at 8,12, and 16 weks. IN summer would like pups to be given at 20 weeks if you are in So Cal. We have HIGH parvo due to the constant year round heat! Your puppy should be wormed before you take it. You should also recieve a Vet Health Check paper or the Fax # to have your vet sent it to your vet. ALL PUPS SHOULD HAVE PAPERWORK ON HEALTH WHEN PLACED!!
#5) AKC is the ONLY acceptable registry. Any other registery is a puppy mill registry PLAIN AND SIMPLE! These registries are APR( American Pet Registry). CKC ( Continental Kennel Club ) , APRI ( American Pet Reg Inc> ) , AND IABCA ( International All Breed Canine Association) .. This is a FACT not a myth! DO NOT let a breeder tell you differently. If you do they are LYING to you. If they will lie about paperwork, registry , what else will they lie to you about? Taking a puppy out of a mill is not saving a life. It is actually making room for a new puppy to fill that place. These are nasty places , they keep dogs in cages, ect.. I will post a picture of a puppy mill on this web site.. PLEASE BUYER BEWARE of these places. Remember CKC, APRI, APR ,IABCA, are all Puppy MIll registries. Even if the breeder obtained two pups reg as CKC and is not a puppy mill. They still breed puppy mill stock, thus they promote disease and bad conformation/temperament. Please be aware that when you buy that cute puppy in the pet store-- IT DID COME FOR A MILL! This is also a fact. I do not care what the Pet Store has told you. They are telling fairy tales. NO responsibe or caring breeder will put their pups in a pet store. All responsible breeders want to meet the purchaser, screen the purchaser, and if they are like me they want to stay in contact with the pup for its lifetime. This is to keep up on temperament and health of the breeding dogs lines. Pet stores do not keep these records for breeders and do not screen potential buyers! doesn`t this say something! PET STORES PROMOTE PUPPY MILLS THIS IS A FACT! Even if the pet store says-- I do not buy from puppy mills, ask yourself, what breeder raises pups then does not want to know where they will live--People who bred for money only.! These dogs are bought online for $350 and sold to the pet store purchaser for $900 up. SCREEN YOUR BREEDER WELL.. WHEN YOU SEE CHAMPION LINES- MAKE THE BREEDER PROVE IT.. AKC IS THE ONLY EXCEPTABLE REGISTRY AND HAS THE ONLY EXCEPTABLE CHAMPIONS!!! YOU CAN SCREEN ALL BREEDERS PEDIGREE ON THE STCA HOME PAGE-- HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF, MY SCOTTIE , REAL AKC CH OFFSPRING . . http://www.stca.biz/cgi/pedigree/geneal.pl?op=tree&index=93148&gens=5&db=scottishterrier.dbw THIS IS WHAT A REAL AKC CH LINED DOG LOOKS LIKE ON PAPER.. MAKE YOUR BREEDER PROVE THEY HAVE CH LINES IF THEY PROMOTE THEM. ASK FOR PEDIGREE BEFORE YOU BUY.. SCREEN IT WELL.. There are other registries out there calling dogs Champion, but some of these are paid for championships. Meaning you send in money and they give you a ch title! AKC does NOT do this, dog will earn CH based on performance.
#6) Your breeder should educate you on foods. Corn, wheat and Soy are no good for Dogs. Dogs are Celiac! Not only are dogs celiac-- 90% of commerical dog food is made with deceased DOGS and cats killed in shelters.. this means the food you buy from the store and consider safe-- is really full of toxins.. pumped in by a selter or vet to KILL a dog or cat! I have this link I would like to share with you about dog food ingredients.. It is EXTREMELY graphic. Please do not watch if you have a weak stomach. This explains why I only use the food on the link I have provided. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9DTzDfYMxo&feature=share
I suggest NO grocery store brand food. PLEASE DO NOT FEED ANTHI G WITH PROTEIN MEAL!! I use only the best organic food for my dogs. I have included the food info on to the third page of this web site ( http://www.scottieschoice.com ) .i I like this food because not only does it not contain shelter and vet kills, It is made with only the finest organic and free range ingredients. Pet Product Formulator, Dr. Jane Bicks, DVM, holds bi-monthly calls that anyone can participate in. At the beginning of each call, Dr. Jane provides in-depth answers to any questions participants have about our products for companion animals. We hope you will join us for these regularly scheduled conference calls. To participate, simply dial 561-515-1695 at the appropriate time, and enter 224012# after the prompt. The next Dr. Jane call is scheduled for Wednesday, April 6th at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time. This food also offers a Pet Insurance Program. You will find it at the bottom of the page. It is in blue- Pet Insurance. The code for the pet insurance is LA2893 . So far I have not found another dog food that offers these services.( http://www.scottieschoice.com) I also feed a multivitamin. It is all natural and organic. I get it at http://www.nuvet.com the order code for that vitamn is 742909.However the http://www.scottieschoice.com site also offers vitamins, I do not use them, I prefer the nuvet and have had beter succes with this particular vitamin. . Vets will say -- Your dogs don`t need a multivitamin, the dogs get what they need form the food. I have to ask-- DO you take a multivitamin? Why do you take it, you eat right? You eat better than your dog, Right? Well if you do not get all you need from food , How would the dog get all they need from Bagged or canned DOG FOOD? It`s a common sense issue here! Vitamins also help build bones in puppies. With a large boned breed;; as the scotties are, you want to promote as much bone growth as you can. I like all of my pups to stay on the nuevt vitamins for the first year of life.
Please be aware that IMAS and EUKANUBA were just both recalled in July and August of 2010! IAMS puppy again in 12-2011!! If you are using a food other than what I am recommending, you can go to the Dog Food Info page and compare your brand to the brand I recommend. You can compare both Ingredients AND Price per serving. When I sell a puppy I recommend the use of this food. If the purchaser agrees to stay on this food/vitamins , I will give a 10 YEAR HEALTH GUARANTEE ON THE PUPPY! If your Scotties dies before 10 years of age, I will GIVE you a FREE puppy! The food/vitamins that I recommed must be the ONLY food used. Ask me how to get a LIfe Time Guarantee on your pup. Can your breeder offer you a LIfe Time Guarantee on health?? For more on dog food, recalls, ect.. please go to http://www.thedogplace.org/Nutrition/Articles.asp .
You will never find the dog food I am recommending on this site or a recall list. It has never been recalled. ON this link you can learn about floride in foods. Ect. I use a dog food that is DRY processed it is the 2% that does not have added floride. I have added the food info to the third page of this web site.
7) This is the easiest Screening info I can give you.. If a breeder calls their dogs, Tawny, Blonde,
Buff, or WheatOn, AND ISSUES FULL AKC TO ALL BUYERS - MOVE ON! This ia CASH breeder only. They breed the breed and are not familiar with the most basic of info! BAD NEWS THERE, MOVE ON! All breeders should know what they are doing before it happens. Responsible breders limit puppies. They do this to protect the bred- AND YOU THE BUYER. Only high quality pups should be bred, not pet quality pups. NO-- Every pup born to a show breeding is not a show pup. Therefor not all pups in a pet litter are show quality. ONLY show quality dogs should be bred. They should be graded by a professional handler before doing so. GOAL of the breeder is to retain the AKC standard of the breed-- not just make any pup and sell it will full breding rights.
#8)Scotties are GREAT with kids ONLY if they are started off with kids. If kennel raised and not socialized I wouldn`t trust one with my kids. Make sure if you have kids , you MEET THE BREEDER< You see how pups are kept and you take your kids to see how the dogs interact.. Meet the Dog parents! Make sure they are VERY social in temperamant..Temeramant is heriditary. If you have never had a scottie before and you have small children. I suggest to you a different breed. Maybe a lab or a cocker.. NOT A SCOTTIE>>Scottie WILL bite your small children if they play rough..
#9) You should ALWAYS get a Sales Contract and Health Guarantee. The State of California has a 10 day warranty period for contagious diseases. PARVO<DISTEMPER< ECT.. 10 FULL DAYS. Get it in writing and make sure your breeder knows this. Ask them if they give 10 days BEFORE buying. ALL breeders should know the laws in their state. You should also get at least a one year health gaurantee. There are TO MANY diseases in this breed that DO NOT show until 6 months to one year. Make sure you are covered in case your new puppy comes down with CMO, CA < Epilepsy or something else. When A breeder does not stand behind the breeding and does not issue a health guarantee , I have to wonder why? Do they know of bad health and are not saying anything? Californian LAW states you can get a full refund if your dogs has a genetic -hereditary crippling condition by YEAR ONE!! Make your breeder give you a WRITTEN full year guarantee. If they do not--Dont buy. Please be aware that a REAL well bred scottie can will run from $1200 to $3000. I have paid up to $2600 for a proper breeding female. If you are looking for a cheap puppy ( $300 to $1000) , please don`t waste my time with inquiries! I do not refer commercial breeders or puppy mills. These are the ONLY breeders selling scotties for these
cheap prices!
#10) I find this to be the biggest-- ALL BREEDERS SHOULD GIVE BACK TO RESCUE!! If you create it you take responsibility for it. I will take back any of my pups that I have placed if they do not work out. So far in 13 years I have taken back 2 puppies! I do rescue,I am NOT ASSOCIATED WITH STCA`s SCOTTIE RESCUE or Carol Herd!.. I do it on my own. I will go to mills and rescue dogs and then place them.I will also take in unwanted scotties, retrain them, get vet care, grooming , ect..ALL breeders should give this to the breed. I will home a sick dog until it is better, then find it a home. Breeders that love the breed will do this. These breeders are my kind of people. If you love the breed-- it is not just what you have bred it is the ENTIRE BREED! When I have no rescue dogs to place I donate $100 from each puppy sale to our local shelter. I do this with FOOD,BLANKETS, TOYS,bowls and SHOTS!
#11) If you see on any breeder site, of any breed---- AKC certified. The AKC has inspected our facility. The AKC inspects over 5000 facilities per year and makes sure they are clean, not puppy mills, ect.. KNow this is put up by puppy mills to sell puppies. AKC is NOT the dog police!! AKC DOES NOT AND HAS NEVER done home inspections of kennels or breeding programs. What the AKC does do is audit the breeders paperwork. THATS ALL! They screen paperwork of breeders that have MORE than 6 litters per year.. Get that 6 litters per year.. This means at least 6 to 12 breeding females.. They want to see that the pups sold-- are living with the people sold to. They do not check kennels, yards, dogs, ect.. IF A BREEDER PUT THIS ON THEIR SITE TO PERSUADE YOU TO BUY A PUPPY, WHAT ELSE WILL THEY TELL YOU THAT IS FALSE?? Use common sense when screening your breeder. ALSO the AKC will NOT audit breeders until they have OVER 5 litters per year. I like to breed only one to three litters per year. I have three mature breedable feamles, They have three litters in a ifetime. THAT`S ALL!! Each is bred once a year--IF they want to breed. I DO NOT make my dogs breed to make $$!! I had one female that went 3 YEARs in between her first and last litters. NO litters in between. WHY -- because I dont make my dogs breed.. I HAVE A JOB! ( http://www.chartreuseproducts.com/lculton.html) . You should also be aware that some call their kennels AKC registered. There is no such thing as an AKC reg kennel. There are on ly AKC Reg. Kennel Names. These are names of the breeders kennels. They are registered so another breeder does not use thier name! It also helps tell who the breeder of this dog is! Thats all folks!
These are the things I consider when I am thinking of getting a Scottie. This is a new member of your family and he/she should have the best start in life. This will promote a long lifetime..
I am NOT a member of the STCA or the STCC. However I do follow their strict Code of Ethics. I do not know the club members! Club members have not met my dogs, been to my home, seen my property, ect.. This is a fact! You can find the code of Ethics at the STCA web site http://www.stca.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=59&Itemid=141
Show breeders VS Pet breeders---- If you are looking for a pet, and you go to a dog show. Inquire on a pet breeder and you are told-- That breeder is a puppy mill. Consider the source first.. and then ask, Have you been to this breeders house, have you seen their dogs, puppies, ect? Then investigate for yourself!
The real LEGAL COURT ISSUED definition of a ""Puppy Mill"" -- PLEASE READ! .
A "puppy mill" is a dog breeding operation in which the HEALTH of the dog is DISREGUARDED in order to maintain low-overhead and Maximize Profits.--
Aveson VS Zegart 577.F Supp 958-960 ( D.Minn 1984)
PUppy Mills creat dogs with health problems and do not acknowledge it! PERIOD!! ... Screen your breeder before you buy. BELOW A PICTURE OF PUPPY MILL A REAL ONE!!! NOT A MANUFACTORED FABRICATION !! THE PICTURE IS SMALL BUT YOU GET THE IDEA. Here is a very interesting article written by a Conformation Exhibitor http://www.thedogplace.org/Breeder/ShowDog/Help-Hurt-Purebreds-01_Cordingley.asp . It is YOUR responsibility as the buyer to VISIT your new puppy`s home, See the sire and dam. See how your pup was raised, as far as conditions, training, socializing, ect. It is YOUR responsibility to get the proper paperwork. Make sure your breeder gives you pedigrees, or access to them, vet records, shot records, worming info, AKC papers- some hold akc back until spay/neuter, this is also OK,. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure in your mind and heart that you KNOW you are not supporting a puppy mill. This is YOUR new Baby - He/ She will spend his/her lifetime with YOU , not the breeder. Make sure you do your homework!
Are you ready to take on a new puppy, or a rescue dog?
Before taking in a new puppy or a rescue there are a few things one should ask themselves. Do I have a secure area for my dog? If I have a pool is it secure? Do I have 10-15 years to dedicate to a new family member? Am I willing to dedicate time to puppy classes? Will I be able to find petsitters to sit with my dogs if I need to leave him/her for any length of time. Is this the type of breed that will work with my family ? Will I be able to afford to care for this breed in the way it needs to be cared for. Will I be able to afford a significant vet bill if my dog gets sick? Will this breed get along with my children and other family members? IS this purchase OK with my other family members? If this is your first puppy, or you have not had a puppy/dog in years, you will want to find a groomer( You will want to be aware that your scottie will need a grooming every 4 to 6 weeks) , Vet and a puppy class. Possibly a dog trainer. If you have not had a Scottie and would like to get to know abit more about the breed, you should order a Subscription for Great Scotts magazine. It has great articles about the breed, health issues, ect..Please be aware that when inquiring on a rescue-- it is a rare occurance when a Perfect scottie is placed for rescue.
This is the vWD Certificate for my male Spirited King Deveron. AKA :: PHillip and our female Maggie. All pedigrees can be seen online. Send me an email and I can send you the link.
This is a Proper vWD certificate done by VetGen.com . ALL breeders should have their dogs tested for vWD. If the breeder does not know about vWD, MOVE ON! This test is not done on puppies. Cost is $180. It is done on the breeding dogs. This is posted here for your benefit. You now know what they look like when properly done. This is not a test done on pups After birth. After birth is to late! Because Phillip has been tested as clear-- NONE of his pups can have this disease. I breed him to vWD CLEAR females ONLY!
At this time there is no test for CA> Phillip is a 4th Generation CA carrier. Our Females are CA CLEAR! If you go back to The pedigree above and print it. Spirited King Deveron. You can find the CA Carrier in the lines. This carrier is marked with the letter ""C"" .. This means Carrier. Phil can ONLY be bred to CA CLEAR females. I screen pedigrees before I do Breedings. "SC" Sibling to Carrier "A" Afflicted. You will see when I do a breeding a CA Ratio on the litter--I want the "Afflicted Ratio" "AR" to be 0% .. I Also want to get the lowest # possible on the "CR" Carrier ratio. Optimum # is 0%.. I bred only 1 to 3 times a year. Puppies are SOLD before birth. NOTHING is created that is not wanted before born...

YES !! I do rescue !! I am NOT associated with the STCA,or their rescue org.
I do rescue out of my home because I love the breed!! Due to the fact that so many people are breeding bad dogs. I am NO LONGER breeding the Scottie! I am working on RESCUE!! Why create life when there is so many that are dying and not finding homes! If you are interested in a puppy,or have one from me in tha past. Email me and I will send you to a properly SCREENED breeder in your area. One that I trust has great scots!
You can now see two of our puppies- Amber and Dash in the new Coffee Table Book : ROVER The WOOF edition ( Shown on Ellen and Oprah ) . Thank you Yvette Harris for Adding Amber and Dash to ROVER. If you are interested in ordering a copy of ROVER I have added the link below.
Thank you for Visiting Culton`s Scottish Terriers.
Our Scotties have their own facebook site. Over 200 pictures of my Scotties and offspring. There are comments on that site from purchasers, ect.. That page is listed under Cultons Scottish Terriers . If you would like to inquire on a puppy, or to get more info on our Scotties, email LAINIE at jasonlainie1@aol.com
.PLEASE USE EMAIL ONLY!
Below is a few pictures of our previous pups now all grown up. Puppy pictures are very cute, but they don`t show conformation. I like to show how my Scotties will look full grown.
I do believe that getting a new pup is the equevelent of bringing home a new baby. 99.99% of new puppy buyers do not have a new puppy shower! So I like to add a GIANT puppy pack to each pup. Puppy packs vary a bit, but they pretty much have the same things in them.. I like to provide a blanket, leash, collar, puppy shampoo, ear clearner, puppy food, treats, toys, And Vitamins. On occasion I will add more--LIKE A BED, sometimes no ear cleaner. If I can provide Potty Patches I throw those in on occasion for FREE! It just depends on what is in stock, when I make order.

To date some of our most popular Scottie names are Maggie, Angus, Mackenzie, McDuff and Wallace. We are now starting to get Phins and Finns. My favorite of all the names I have come across so far is Biscotti. Leat creative name so far-- Scott! I will be adding more pictures as I re-work this web site. If you have any questions about how the Scotties or the pups, please send me an email to jasonlainie1@aol.com , NO PHONE CALLS PHONE IS BROKEN! References available.

More pictures of our babies all grown up. You can see by looking at all of them that I have a certain look I am breeding for. I have been able to Maintain this conformation for years now . I like to combine the Show lines with the pet lines. This gives pups a more loving temperament with the proper conformation. Sorry the pictures are small. I have no idea how to adjust size. MORE picts can be sent via email.
About My dogs. This is how I screen a breeder. I follow how i would raise a puppy and how I have done so in the past. NO PUPS EXPECTED !! I am working on RESCUE!!
My main concern in my breeding program is to EDUCATE YOU THE BUYER NOT TO MAKE MONEY ON PUPS. I am not a big puppy producer! As some might like to spread or think. In 2009 I had 7 pups. 2010-- 3 pups. Durring 2010-- I took in 7 RESCUE DOGS!! NONE of which I produced.
I do not produce pups to find buyers. I find buyers first --then I produce pups. NO pup is unsold at time of birth! All are sold to the waiting list or previous clients. When you inquire on a puppy you will not just get a bland to the point answer. You are going to get educated on what I have, sire , dam, lines, health, pedigree, food, ect...The Job of the breeder should not be to sell puppies but instead should be to educate people about the breed its self and the lines they are breeding. I breed also for GREAT HEALTH. I do required health screens. PLUS I research diseases related to my breed. I do CA risk calculations BEFORE breeding my dogs. I Also breed for correct conformation, This is height, weight, tail , length, ear set, ect..You will not ask for a Scottie here and end up with something that ends up looking like a wire haird Dachshund, or something with out a scottie coat. Scotties have straigh tails. This short tail gives the apperance of a small stubby carrot. The scottie tail is NEVER suppose to be long and curl! To get proper conformation I have AKC Champion sired breeding dogs.When I say AKC CH lines-- I mean the parents to MY personal breeding dogs are AKC CH.. You will not find AKC CH in the 5th line back and me calling them AKC CH lined. My dogs are of AKC CH lineage but I do not show dogs, However they do meet AKC standards and could very well be shown. I DO NOT sell my Scotties to Show home unless you will enter a very strict contract. I prefer pet homes NO AKC paperwork will be sent until all pups are verified as neutered or spayed. . I perfer homes where LOVE is given 100% of the time.. All puppies are to be placed with a spay/neuter contract- they will go to their new homes with LIMITED AKC ONLY-NO BREEDING!!! . NO FULL AKC TO PET DOGS.--do not write me a story and try to get full AKC with out co-owner., NOT happening. I only sell Full to responsible breeders who have breed this breed for DECADES!!! The breeders I sell to MUST have CA and vWD free and clear stock! in other words-- I MUST KNOW YOU TO GET FULL AKC!!! .I do on occasion do stud service ( NO LONGER OFFERED AS WE ARE WORKING ON RESCUE) .. In order to get stud service the female inquiring must be the quality of my stud. He is AKC AM/AUS CH sired. I will in no way breed to ANY scottie with pet lines- DO NOT ASK!! . This is not a breeding facility or a puppy mill, we raise all scottie including adults in OUR HOME>> They have free run of our house. Which means just that FREE RUN! All of our Scotties are vWD clear. I have also run the risk factors for CA. I am running a CA CLEAR breeding program at this point.! To find out more info on CA go to the STCA web site. You can research this disease on that site. Make yourself aware of this. You can run pedigrees of prospective pups through this Risk Calculator, as I have had done. Before you buy a Scottie please educate yourself on the breed. This breed has Scottie Cramp, Liver problems,CMO, Epilepsy and the two diseases mentioned above. A good breeder will know about ALL of the scottie diseases and will make sure the purchaser is educated before the sale is made. If your seller is only concerned with telling you price, BEWARE! WHen Screening your potential breeder-- make sure they can spell Wheaten. If they spell it wheaton -- move on. They have made no intentions to get to know the breed other than to profit off of it.
I am no longer working on breeding as there are to many rescues out there. OWEVER , I have left my info up so you can See how I raise my pups and what i offered with them. PLEASE DO NOT get online and buy a $500-$900 Scottie!! I get them in rescue all day long. PLEASE RESEARCH your breeders! If you would like a rescue dog--PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL SEND YOU ANY INFO I HAVE!!! On occasion I do get them here, I retrain them, potty train them , then send them to a SCREENED pet home. I will spay and neuter if they need it. I also do vet testing to see if this dog is healthy, ect..I DO NOT RESELL RESCUES> But on occasion i do ask for a dontaion based on what I have put into the dog via, vet services. I do not charge for retraining and grooming. I do this myself. NO RESCUES PLACED FOR BREEDING PURPOSES!
If you would like to talk Scottie, or to inquire on how to obtain a Scottish Terrier, please EMAIL ONLY--PHONE IS BROKEN . Please send to LAINIE at jasonlainie1@aol.com

In order to get stud service the female inquiring must be the quality of my stud. He is AKC AM/AUS CH sired. I will in no way breed to ANY scottie with pet lines- DO NOT ASK!! . This is not a breeding facility or a puppy mill, we raise all scottie including adults in OUR HOME>> They have free run of our house. Which means just that FREE RUN! All of our Scotties are vWD clear. I have also run the risk factors for CA. I am running a CA CLEAR breeding program at this point.! To find out more info on CA go to the STCA web site. You can research this disease on that site. Make yourself aware of this. You can run pedigrees of prospective pups through this Risk Calculator, as I have had done. Before you buy a Scottie please educate yourself on the breed. This breed has Scottie Cramp, Liver problems,CMO, Epilepsy and the two diseases mentioned above. A good breeder will know about ALL of the scottie diseases and will make sure the purchaser is educated before the sale is made. If your seller is only concerned with telling you price, BEWARE! WHen Screening your potential breeder-- make sure they can spell Wheaten. If they spell it wheaton -- move on. They have made no intentions to get to know the breed other than to profit off of it.

WE POTTY TRAIN OUR SCOTTIES!!!
Over the past few years I have decided to start puppies on potty training.I felt that if I was reading the newspaper and getting massive amounts of ink on me, what are the puppies getting on them. You can see on a wheaten that the fur turns grey. You have to wash them several times before the print comes out of the coat fully! I looked at this and said to myself-- What are the long term affects of Newsprint? So I decided to use Potty grass. It is cleaner and more nautral to the puppies. They get no ink on them at all! This has to be a plus in the health department! I start potty training with a device called Potty Patch. You can google that to see how it works. I buy mine for $40 at WalGreenes Drug Store . You can also google them to find them online and see the video on how they work. I start the puppies on this training at 3 weeks of age. Right when they start to walk. They then use this the whole time they are with me.By the time they leave they are opened up to my entire kitchen and use potty patch. I NEVER PUT MY PUPS OUTSIDE while with me. I suggest you not put them out until ALL SHOTS Series have been given (16 to 20 weeks). They will use potty patch and have no accidents. They will then transition EASILY to the grass because this is what they have been going on since 3 weeks of age. I do not place puppies with families from 6 to 9 weeks. I like to keep them from 10 to 12 weeks. This helps puppies learn to socialize with the older dogs and they get over the nautral fear period all dog breeds go through. This happens from 8 to 10 weeks in age.Placing a pup of any breed at 6 weeks of age is WAY to early. They do not get to learn dog behavior from their Pack members, they learn human behaviors... These are NOT HUMANS! Puppies are then started on Crate Training at 8 weeks of age. By time of placement at 10 to 12 weeks they can stay in crate for about 2 hours. NO LONGER!

SCREEN YOUR BREEDER!!
When screening your breeder ask for Vwd tests, CA ratios, Ask your breeder if they have had any diseasea in their lines. How they handled the discovery of this disease. Did they continue to breed, if so why? Did they neuter or spay their dogs? Make sure to always get a health guarantee on your dogs. Most states have a manditory Lemon Law for Sick pups. In my state it is one year. Does the breeder know of this law? How does the breeder then handle the pup and client. Do they stay in contact with sick pup? Did they offer a refund? How did this breeder handle the over all situation. Find out BEFORE you buy a pup.. please be aware than if a breeder is not familiar with AKC breed standards-- Correct conformation, then they are most likely not familiar with breed diseases and the health issues related to the breed.
The goal of ALL breeders of ALL breeds is to CONSTANTLY perfect their stock. NO true breeder is ever happy with their health or conformation. A true breeder is constantly looking to IMPROVE on what they have..

I care about my scotties so much that when I mopped the floor and saw them licking their paws, I felt I had to do something about it. I can not stop mopping my floor!! So I found an all natural Organic cleaner. Now no dogs are harmed in the cleaning of this house, their beds, ect.. I also LOVE this company because they sell ORGANIC PET SHAMPOO!! http://www.thechartreuselife.com
My very favorite thing they offer is the Sapon Berries. Called Soap Nuts. I wash the dogs laundry in this. Gets all the dog smells out with out harsh chemicals.
