Shirescot Scottish Terriers

Today is April 3, 2018. I am working to fix notification errors — apparently folks have submitted messages to us but they’ve not gotten through. I will contact our webmaster today to see if she can determine what’s going on. Thank you for your patience and keep trying to contact us!
If you’ve completed the contact page but haven’t heard back from us I recommend you send your information directly to either (or both) of our email addresses (waiteja45@aol.com) and (loriwaite@aol.com). Please attach your questionnaire to speed the process of being added to our wait list.

We’ve been tentatively adding interested people to our waiting list, but if you’ve not completed the questionnaire you’re not officially on the list.

Fillable Form2Shirescot Scottish Terriers Breeder Referral Questionnaire

Hello All and thank you for following us. Today is February 27, 2018.

Still no puppies — we’re waiting on Hope to come into season. Should be within the next month or so. Usually when one of the girls comes into season at least one other does at the same time. Edith has been in season since Valentine’s Day and is driving poor Harley crazy. If you’ve never heard that high pitch while or squeak of a male dog in “need” it’s not something you’ll forget! She should finish this cycle fairly soon and then things will calm down…until Hope starts it all over again. Our girl, Lil, is about 8 months old now and, well, she’s next. We’re not looking forward to three months of back to back to back seasons, but that’s one of the “benefits” of having the girls in the house :).

If you’ll note on several of our pages we ask that prospective puppy (and/or retired show dog) families complete a questionnaire. If you’ve not yet completed your questionnaire and sent it to us, please do so soon. Having the information we requested in that form available makes the transition process much smoother, and helps us pick the right show or companion dog for you. You can either complete it and attach it here to your messages to us, saving it to your computer in the process; you can complete it and send it to Lori’s email (loriwaite@aol.com) or you can print it out, pen and ink your answers and send it to us via USPS at PO Box 4594, Gettysburg, PA 17325.

Thank you and have a very pleasant day,

Lori

I just realized it’s been a long time since I posted anything about our Shirescot puppies.  So, here goes.  Both the boys (Wallace and Bentley) and two of the girls (Acorn and Olive (was Mousse) have  found new homes.  Ruthie is still with us, but she’s headed toward Piedmont, SC soon.

Wallace is very happy living near Pittsburg, PA.  He has a wonderful brother who doesn’t mind when Wallace uses him as a pillow. And vice versa 🙂

Bentley loves walks in the park.  Here he is with his Dad in Central Park on “Dog Day.”

I wish I have photos of Acorn and Olive to post today but, alas, I don’t.  I’m working on it though!

Moira’s litter of puppies is now 7 weeks old.  They won’t be available to go to their forever homes for another 5 weeks, but everyone interested is welcome to contact us and set up a meeting to see and play with them after they’ve had their first shots (next week).  Moira and Digger (puppy sire) are both brindles, Moira more red than Digger.  All the puppies are brindled, although it’s tough to see the brindling on “Bentley.”  He is definitely a black brindle.

Today was a beautiful day outside so we took the puppies out to have a good time in the grass.  They enjoyed it very much and are now taking the “big nap.”

Bentley

This first pic in our puppies library is the puppy named “Bentley.”  He is the smallest in size, but he has a big heart and is full of spunk.  He’s a black brindle…more black than brindle.  After Bentley has had his second round of shots he will be moving to Manhattan and living with his new mom, Yasmin.  We’re really excited for him!!

This is another picture of Bentley.  He holds his tail up, but likes it to arch (which looks like a bend).  Very sturdy, very cobby little boy.

• Acorn

Acorn out in the world

We call this little girl “Acorn” because she was the smallest of the puppies.  She is rapidly catching up to her brothers and sisters.  She’s a red/black brindle.  More red than black, and all over brindling.  One of her brothers (Wallace) has a black mask, but Acorn does not.

This is a video of Acorn having fun in the yard.  She’s a lovely, loving little girl.  Always full of kisses and chin hugs (paws on both sides of human chin while licking face).  We really enjoy her!

She’s a great girl!

• Mousse

Mousse in the clover

We call this girl “Mousse” because she’s has a nice black (chocolate)/red coat.   She’s very cobby and simply a lovely puppy.  She’s usually one of the first pups to greet me in the morning, standing up so she can get the first hug of the day.

Closer look at Mousse

Mousse has a fun milk chin.  She’s a real beauty!

• Wallace

Wallace

This is Wallace.  He’s a lovely brindle boy – with a small milk chin and a black mask.  He’s very loving and enjoys running in the grass.   As soon as he has his second round of shots he will travel to his new home in Pittsburgh, PA.  His new Mom, Lesley is very excited and is really looking forward to Wallace moving in (and taking over their house).

Wallace in the yard

Wallace enjoys running and playing in the grass.  Very sweet little guy.

• Ruthie

Ruthie is a black/red brindle girl.  She’s very sweet, loves her humans and gives very sweet kisses.

Ruthie close up

I took this picture to show her Ruthie’s red brindling.  She has a great tail and nice ears.  Very cobby (well, they all are) and low to the ground.

This is Ruthie running in the yard

Ruthie is very brindled, but like her brother Wallace, she seems to have a black mask.  She is another of Moira’s red brindled puppies.
