Welcome to Scottish Terriers NZ, where our love for Scottish Terriers runs deep.
It all began with Andrea's childhood companion, a scottie bag named Scotty, until an unfortunate encounter with her sisters' dog led to her yearning for a real furry friend. In 2001, her dream came true with the arrival of Fraser, a brindle beauty who stole her heart. This marked the inception of Emmerson Scotties NZ, officially recognized by the New Zealand Kennel Club under registration number #093323. For Lisa, the journey into scottie ownership started in 1994. Moving into her first home, she sought a loyal companion and a watchful guardian. After meticulous research (Lisa has a penchant for thorough investigation), she concluded that a Scottish Terrier would be the perfect fit. Her intuition proved correct when Mr. McGuffie entered their lives, captivating the entire family with his charm. Over the past three decades, Lisa's household has been graced by the presence of five beloved scotties. Interestingly, the bond between Andrea and Lisa was forged through their shared affection for this remarkable breed. Lisa's mother, Shirley, had a Scottie named Lochie, who happened to be Fraser's brother. It was through this familial connection that Andrea and Lisa's paths crossed, uniting them in their passion for Scottish Terriers.
