Agility
Thanks to Margareta who sent the link to this Scottie dog agility video with this message: “Here is what Telltails scotties in Estonia do to entertain themselves.” Well, it’s pretty entertaining for all us Scottie News readers as well. Not to mention inspirational. Those buff looking dogs make me want to order backyard agility equipment
Hitchcock may have some competition.

It’s agility champion Hitchcock and his Scottish Terrier brethren doing some brain exercises at their lovely villa in the Swiss alps. Scottie News may be forced to visit and do an investigative report.

Just watching Dartagnan has the Scottie News editorial team exhausted:
I have to admit I was just a little bit disappointed that, given this took place in Brazil and all, that there weren’t some raucous, hugging celebrations at the end of it all.
Dartagnan deserves to have a fuss made of him as does his trainer. You go guys.

Athletic and privileged Swiss Scottish Terrier Hitchcock, whose talent has been showcased on the Scottie News before, will be competing for Switzerland in the European Open in July.
He is the first Scottish Terrier ever to represent his country in an international competition. According to the Zuercher Unterlaender newspaper, Scotties’ short legs make it as hard for them to beat other breeds at agility contests as it is for a plowhorse to win a horse race. Hitch’s owner and coach Bettina Stemmler says, however, “Hitch is an exceptional dog who loves to compete.” Even if winning this and other competitions would be difficult, above all, she just wants to have fun.
Rest assured the Scottish Terrier and Dog News will be cheering for you.

This guy is no Hitchcock the Scottie but he’s enough of a champ to merit some exposure on West Highland Terrier Wednesday. You can chart Oliver’s post-grad progress here.
