“We are first time dog owners. So, when our kids agreed they would like a Scottish Terrier, we were happy to let them “google” breeders – never thinking we would find one virtually right up the road! After researching Scotties and terriers in general (I think they get a bad rap!), it was with some trepidation we arranged to visit Mucklewags. We were greeted enthusiastically by a lovely young family, and their pack of Scotties! Any apprehensions were quickly put to rest. They answered our “first timer” questions patiently, knowledgably and honestly. It was clear their dogs were well cared for and well loved – not to mention absolutely so cute! I appreciated their philosophy to give their dogs the best they could, to make them part of their family and have happy and healthy pets. It was also a great opportunity to interact with the dogs, to meet and greet with a potential “parent”. They were all well mannered and friendly. And so, 6 months later, we found ourselves visiting again, this time going home with an adorable pup, with a kink in his tail, named MacDuff. As first timers, we e-mailed many a question or a proud update of our latest addition to Mucklewags. Those emails were always answered promptly with words of advice,encouragement and interest. We are also very fortunate to live nearby and so are able to board Duff while on holidays. He LOVES going to Mucklewags, his second family. It is also great peace of mind for us knowing he is safe and well taken care of. Now he is almost a year old – a sturdy, handsome fellow (much like his dad!). Curious and playful, independent and smart, friendly and stubborn, he enjoys chasing squirrels and watching TV! He’s also proven a great conversation starter as he proudly struts through the neighbourhood! And certainly part of our family.
I would not hesitate to recommend Mucklewags for their knowledge, their philosophy and their wonderful dogs. We love our Duff!”
