Okay, not a zillion...but a bunch!
If you love Scotties Dayton, Ohio will be the place to be on April 25 and 26, 2009! The Scottish Terrier Club of America, aka STCA, will be holding their Specialty on Saturday, April 25 at the Exposition Center - Dayton International Airport - 3900 McCauley Drive, 45377.
The Scottish Terrier Club of Greater Dayton, aka STCGD, will hold their Specialty the following day, Sunday, April 26.
What is a Specialty? The easiest description is a One Breed Conformation Show. There will be Scotties from all over the country, perhaps the world, vying for that Best of Breed win!
But conformation is not the only event happening that weekend! There will be Scottie obedience and rally trials on both days as well as a Parade of Rescue Scotties on Saturday morning.
All the information can be found at this link: http://www.stca.biz/images/2009RotatingPremium.pdf
The cost? Your time and parking. (Unless you are exhibiting a dog)
One thing I ask you to remember if you decide to attend:
Scotties about to go into the ring are focused like an athlete as are their handlers. This is NOT a good time to attempt a conversation or try to pet/interact with the dogs. You will be shooed away. The handlers have spent many hours preparing their dog's coat for examination by the Judge. Petting them can undo all that hard work. It can also excite the dogs and make them hard to handle in the ring.
My husband and I will be in attendance both days as observers. I hope to see you at this exciting event!

The need is greater than ever...Rescue a Scottie
In today’s economic crisis, people are not the only ones suffering the consequences of job loss and foreclosure. Many pets from foreclosed homes are abandoned, left homeless and may become victims of euthanasia or starvation.
Scotties find their way to Rescues for a variety of reasons. The Scottish Terrier Rescue Coordinators writes:
The Scotties that enter our Rescue Program come to us in a variety of ways. Many are abandoned by their owners or are turned into the pound or animal shelter. Some are picked up as strays and never claimed. Occasionally, owners must give up their dogs because of medical problems, moving into retirement homes, divorce, new baby, etc. Some become homeless because they outlive their owners. Many of the dogs that we get into our program have had little time or attention paid to them and they may not be housebroken. Some are grieving for a lost loved one. We have found that when they get into a good home where they are wanted and loved, they return that love many times over.
The current economic crisis has certainly added to the need for Rescue Scotties to find a good and loving home.
There are lots of ways to help support the Scottish Terrier Rescues. First of all there is a list of Rescue Coordinators from around the nation: http://www.stca.biz/rescuelist.asp
These coordinators work with the Scottish Terrier Club of America and should be your first choice if you are considering "adopting" a Scottie.
Rescues need help in many ways. Often they are run by a handful of volunteers that are dedicated to providing love, medical assistance and quality care until new homes can be found. As you can imagine, with the influx of more and more dogs being abandoned, they are being overwhelmed.
Donations of money, food, bedding and toys are needed and greatly appreciated. Could you be a foster home for a Scottie waiting for his permanent home? Perhaps you could volunteer your time and services to help feed, groom or train these Scotties. Sadly, some are rescued from Puppy Mills and have never experienced human contact, walking on a lead or house training.
Why not check the list of Rescue Coordinators above and see if there is one near you?
