DC Scots
Meet the breeder
I'm Michele G., the breeder behind DC Scots located in Baileys Harbor, WI. I began breeding to ensure the availability of Scottish Terrier puppies that have been thoughtfully bred. My breeding decisions are driven by a desire for the best health and temperament, with a focus on the conformation standards established by the Scottish Terrier Club of America.
Q. & A. with Michele
Why did you start breeding?
After thirty years of saying I would never breed, my concern for the decline in Scottish Terriers and the preservation of our breed was the impetus for me to begin breeding. Once I made the decision, I took an additional 12-18 months to network and prepare for my first home whelping. It has been an honor to raise these wonderful dogs and contribute to the future of the Scottish Terrier.What makes your program special?
Mi purpose my m to neurological last A lot of interactive stimulation using Puppy Culture principles of progressive socialization & and skill building . This helps ensure the best outcome for our puppies. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
