Bushland Terrier
- Cairn Terrier/Scottish Terrier mix
- Registered with the ACHC (American Canine Hybrid Club) and DDKC (Designer Dog Kennel Club)
- Previous coverage, here
- More information, here
Our comments: Another very Scottie-ish looking hybrid. Given that Cairns have fewer genetic problems than Scotties and Westies, this mix is probably not a bad idea.

It all makes my head hurt. I'm one of those who can't stand to put my crayons back in the box wrong, so you have to know...these make my head hurt!
ReplyDeleteI will probably get shouted down by people whose babies are DD's but as the list went on it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Not so much the similar mixes like the Scoland (I prefer "Westscot") and the Bushland which as you say may reduce some of the genetic problems but when you get people purposely mixing very different breeds just to get funny combinations it's appealing to people who buy it just for novelty/faddishness. Unless I'm mistaken the purpose is not to diminish problematic traits of any one breed but to retain the exaggerated characteristics of each. Quite alot of this goes on in puppy mills of course. There again some people object to "pure" dog breeding too so is this really "more" exploitative? Not sure. Maybe I should just say it makes my head hurt too!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAs a card-carrying member of STCA, I am against crossbreeding.
ReplyDeleteI think bad breeding is bad breeding whether it's done by purebred breeders or breeders hoping to cash in on the designer dog fad.
ReplyDeleteI will add a link to an old post on avoiding puppy mills so that no matter which kind of dog someone wants they will know what to avoid.
Given the way past discussions on this subject have gone, I think some of us are just going to have to agree to disagree.
If you have any suggestions, please add them. I think we all have dogs' best interests at heart.
I have to say that I find the Westie-Scot mix, and the Cairn-Scot mix, not unattractive. Let´s face it people, a century ago you could get all three breeds registered from the same dam. It might be an idea to mix up the gene pool again so as to save our beloved scots.
ReplyDeleteHearesy for some I know, but as we all know our pups are not the healthiest breed on earth.
The Scoland (aka WestScot) and the Bushland -- work for me. But the ScotCHI was scarey, and the Scoodle made me very sad --when I saw the pic of the dog all grown up and unkempt and looking sad. The others -- I won't even go there!
ReplyDeleteLet me assure you that Pepper the ScotChi is a much-loved dog. Her owner Bonnie is a regular reader of the Scottie News and raves about her Taco Terrier's great personality. She's also happy to acknowledge that Pepper is no super model for what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteAs for Shaggy the Scoodle, we never did discover if that shot was photoshopped to produce a Frankenstein monster.
I'm biased I know, but why try to play with/improve perfection? :)

I have a Scottie mix. I believe he is mixed with Schipperkee. He looks mostly though like a Scottie.

Used to be there were "purebreds" and "mixed breeds." Now they are all "designer dogs." I have nothing against either, I've owned both. However, I think this whole designer dog thing has gotten waaay out of hand. As far as I am concerned, a Scottie is a Scottie is a Scottie, and a Westie is a Westie, and a "designer dog" is a mixed breed. The sad part is people are paying way too much money for a mixed breed when the shelters are overflowing with them.
ReplyDeleteHi, Pepper the ScotChi's "Mom" here! She's still wonderful and I still adore her. Pepper has a Dogbook page now if anybody wants to stop by and be friends, see some different photos there.

I know that I'll never find another Pepper, never ever. She's so unique. She is funny-looking, but more than a few folks have told me that she's the "cutest dog they have ever seen" - Wow! All I can say is that her breeding was quite accidental - she, her mother (blk Scot) and father (yellow Chi) were all dumped off at a dog pound in Los Angeles together, Pepper found her way to Northern CA via a rescue agency and then on to me - and I'm so, so lucky to have her. I'm still looking for a Scottie to love, always will be looking for one, but I just can't spend $1,000 on one so, oh well. I'll keep looking. Meanwhile, Pepper and I have to go check the woodhouse for mice now!! Favorite new activity!
Hi Just popped on your site to read scottie mixes I have a Scottie cross wheaton terrier and she is just adorable, shes quite small 7.7kgs black but has a white beard and a white bit on her neck and down ears.
ReplyDeleteJust wondered if you have heard of this mix before ?
I have a Scottish Terrier/Schiperkee mix. Anything is possible. It sounds so cute the combination you have.
ReplyDeleteWhy can people not just be happy with a mutt? Why this need to call them designer dogs?!
ReplyDeleteI have a Scottish Terrier/Jack Russell Terrier mix that we got from a pet shop about 13 years ago, and he's the best dog you could ever want. A friend of mine wants one just like him, but we can't even seem to find a listing for this mix anywhere. Do you have any suggestions?
