Luna is an incredibly feisty wheaten Scottie that comes to us via a small breeder by the name of Steve Greenich in Ohio. I’d been on the prowl for a wheaten female for quite awhile when I stumbled upon a video of Steve giving her a bath around three weeks old. She stared at him judgementally the entire time without so much as moving a muscle. The amount of Scottitude was off the charts and I knew I wanted to add her to our pack immediately.
Luna is one of the most affectionate, snuggly Scottish Terriers that I’ve ever met. Within two hours of meeting me she was curled up and snoring on my shoulder at the hotel. She barely made a peep on the plane ride home, but she sure made big noises when we got there! At just twelve weeks old, she walked into our house like she owned the place. The other two dogs merely shrugged and moved over. Luna’s been running this joint ever since.
She’s truly fantastic with children. My youngest daughter has picked her up every which way with barely a widened eye in return. She has a relatively high prey drive (even for a Scottie). Squirrels beware! Despite this, she’s fantastic with cats and has never attempted to chase or harm one.
Like most Scotties, Luna is dominant with other dogs. While not outright aggressive, she’s not afraid to tell another canine off in a rather dramatic fashion at the slightest provocation. She’s all bark and no bite, but she’s certainly not gifted in the canine humility department. I suspect that she’d be an absolute whiz at Barnhunt, so we’ll be giving this a go at some point in the near future!
