i don't understand. they just bought a scottie from a breeder and found it sketchy? How long ago was this? they should go to the AKC website, click on the breed--they will list breeders for you. I don't see Scotties that often --as they are difficult with kids and can be grouchy--you will probably have to travel out of a 100 mile radius to find a good one. Aaaaaaaaaand cue the animal shelter adoption banshees.
