I have known 2 families with SCWT and they both have lovely family dogs. Quite energetic, one of them climbs trees!. I was going to get a pup 3 yrs ago and was talking with a breeder in Coldwater Michigan about her next litter. I had done what I thought was pretty good research until.....i mentioned to the breeder that I had 2 Yorkies. She, on the spot, right then, said "I'm sorry, I won't sell you one of my puppies". I was shocked and then she explained to me that after breeding SCWT for over 20 yrs she had one too many reports of them chasing, catching and killing not only bunnies & small animals but also small dogs. She was very kind and I appreciated her honesty. I didn't put it to the test. Instead I found Sunnie. Glad I did. |
