Description: The Scottish Terrier is a sturdy, robust, small dog. Both sexes will measure 10 to 11 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 19 and 23 pounds. The Scottish Terrier is unmistakable with its short legs, long head, upright ears, and distinctive coat. The teeth are said to be as large as those possessed by a German Shepherd. The shaggy coat of this dog is usually black or brindle, but the lighter wheaten coat is also found. The Scottish Terrier has a beard and prominent 'eyebrows'. The ears and tail are natural. This dog has a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years. It is also known as the Scottie or Aberdeen Terrier.History: Originally, the Scottish Terrier was developed in Scotland as a farm dog. It was used to hunt animals that would be considered vermin - badgers, foxes, rabbits, in their burrows. The short legs of the dog facilitated this. As the birthplace of this dog was near the town of Aberdeen, it derived the name Aberdeen Terrier from this. The Scottie was first brought to America in the 1890s, but did not enjoy popularity until quite a bit later. The Monopoly Game made one of its game pieces a Scottish Terrier since the dog was so popular at the time of the game's...more

But it was a whole lot easier with Mollie as she is a border/aussie mix. Herders, as most of you know, are born to serve. Nevertheless, here are 6 proven tips used...more
Baby Ferrets Versus Older Ferrets as Pets While adopting a geriatric animal can be difficult for first time owners who may not be as good at spotting health problems, I would advise first time pet owners to consider an adult rather than a baby animal, and ideally one from a rescue that can tell you a bit about the animal and its personality.The reasons for this are pretty simple:1) The tough stuff is often done. Generally, an adult ferret is already nip trained. The animal may already know some tricks, and the odds of the ferret ingesting a portion of a toy and getting an intestinal blockage from eating something strange has been reduced (the threat is still there, however baby ferrets are far more likely to destroy and then eat a piece of a toy or a random object that an adult ferret would ignore). Litter training may also be included in this package (well, as much as that particular ferret can be litter trained), but if not it can be more easily taught. Adopting an adult ferret is a bit like adopting a pre-trained, well behaved adult dog rather than adopting a baby dinosaur and attempting to turn it into a dog... I know that that sounds a bit far fetched, but the reality...more
