I'm Amy C., the breeder behind Capstone Scottish Terriers located in Worthington, OH. I'm a certified dog behavior consultant and certified professional dog trainer, and focus on breeding Scotties with outstanding health, conformation and performance sport drive and ability. We breed a litter very rarely and with careful planning. Our dogs do it all!
Q. & A. with Amy
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding because I find Scotties to be an absolute joy to train and work with, and being able to produce puppies who are well-socialized and confident in the world is thrilling!
What makes your program special?
Because I raise my puppies to be thinking creatures who want to work with and for humans, they make great pets. I focus on socialization, problem solving and building resilience using both Puppy Culture and Avidog, and begin training them as soon as they can take soft food. By 5 weeks old, they're already accustomed to riding in the car in crates, nail trims, and visiting family members' houses.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, black brindle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
