| We babysat my MIL's Scottie a few years ago when she was recovering from knee replacement surgery. We had her for about a month and lost her 4 or 5 times When someone opened the door, ZOOOM, out she'd go! The more you called for her and chased her, the longer it took to catch her. We finally figured out that it was a GAME to her and to ignore her, she'd come back quicker Man, I was dreading telling my MIL that we had lost her Maggie, but we held on to her more strictly after those few incidents (one of which was at a park and she slipped her collar ) and though I loved her very much, was SO glad to see her go home I think she was smarter than all of us put together My MIL had to move out of her house and into an apartment that didn't allow pets, so Maggie now lives with my BIL She's already bitten two of his kids, but from what I understand they were teasing her, and of course she misses her Momma Scotties are great, but they are terriers to the Nth degree They take as much care as our Yorkies do, but in different ways. They need TONS of exercise and challenging games/tricks. I thought I wanted one until I saw a Yorkie, then it was all over

Oh God, thanks, you just persuaded me from allowing my hubby to get this dog. THANKS, that is what I heard also, they RUN and run and run off, and if you take them into the park or woods they will just run off and will not come back on command. Then look at the chaos with my little Bandit chasing after him which he will do SCOTTIE is now off the menu for sure | |

| I LOVE yorkies and I think everyone should have one.. well not everyone.. But that being said, my mom raised and showed scotties while we were growing up. We never had runners. (unless they saw a cat) They were sweet and playful and never bit anyone. BUT they are bigger and stronger and lots sturdier than a yorkie so I would watch one closely with a tiny yorkie.

| I had to get a furrbaby after my beloved Buster died. The house was so quiet, and I just couldn't stop crying. Taking care of the new baby, Sam, helped keep me busy. I would tell Sam all the things that Buster and I did together and it REALLY helped. |

That is the reason I have started to look each day. Something will come up and even if it takes months, the main thing is I am looking and looking and the right one will hit me when I see it. | |

| I herd Scotties were mean.....never had experience w/them. A Schnauzer is resembles them to me and they are VERY smart and easy to train. They are good w/ other dogs and children. My two are big babies and our 5 year old acts like the 3 month old puppy....they play so hard! Angie |
