I'm Payne N., the breeder behind Quail Ridge Scotties located in Alabama. We’re proud of the healthy, affectionate, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies we raise for other families to love! We raise our litters in our home to help set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes. It’s a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on each individual puppy!

What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
