area. I am also proud of the quality of our Scotties
in Canada, I truly feel that they can compete
successfully anywhere. We have some (not many)
very successful competitors in the areas of
obedience, agility and the other active sports as
well.
In my time as President, we have lost some of our
breed’s great supporters through age, illness and
death. People who have given much time, energy and
President’s Message
This is my last President’s
message and I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of you for a
wonderful two terms in office. It’s hard
to believe the time has gone by so
quickly. It has gone relatively smoothly,
partly because I have been surrounded
by a great executive and members who
were ready to step in and help anytime I
needed it. I thoroughly enjoyed my time
as President and I’m sure I will miss it
and all of the people I have been
involved with.
The club and our breed have had
some challenges in this time and we have
experience to the breed. We have gained some new
and younger faces but the overall numbers are
dwindling. I see a need to bring more people into our
breed, to show them the wonderful qualities of this
unique dog. I would like to see us reach out to the
pet owners and offer more activities for the family
and their pet.
Another National Specialty is about to be held in
the Ottawa area and John Price and his committee
have been working hard to prepare for it. I’m hoping
to see many of you and your dogs at this wonderful
celebration of the Scottish Terrier. Even if you are
not showing, it would be nice to see you drop by and
take part in the festivities. It is also the site of our
AGM, a chance to vote on topics that could be
important to you and an opportunity to meet the
new executive.
handled each in the way we do best,
simply dealing with whatever challenges
face us and carrying on. I have always
been proud of our breeders and
frequently tell others of the responsible
attitude most Scottie breeders have.
They show a real concern for health
issues and have a great record in this
See you all there,

conformation ring, where she recently took two
points.
Hello to all you Scottie lovers out there.
It is nice to be able to report that we are
finally getting some good old Ontario
summer weather.
This writer was away for three weeks in
May to visit my sister in Texas, so I was
able to get warm there. We had a good
visit, and my thanks go out to the
Perratts for looking after my Hannah so
well while I was gone. Needless to say
she was more than happy to have me
home, but she still had fun while staying
Kelly Hatt & Holly
at the Perratts, as her mother Eilidh and
litter mate sister Bridie still live there,
so there was much activity going on.
We are happy to report that Mary Ellen

championship with flying colours at the
end of April at the Guelph show. Also,
Murray and Caroline Hicks, took BOW

Hopefully as many as possible will be attending our
2005 National Specialty in Long Sault, Ontario on
August 26, 2005. It is always good to see a good
entry at our Specialties. More information on this
elsewhere in this issue of the Scamper.
Don’t forget the annual picnic again this year. It
is being held on September 17th, at Royakkers
Park, near Guelph, Ontario. It is always a fun
event, when we get to do silly things with our
beloved dogs, and they can usually outsmart us in
the races or dunking for biscuits. See you there.

Spray on a bit of trust
The Leader-Post (Regina)

Swiss researchers have discovered that
human trust can be bottled.
A few sniffs of a neuropeptide called
oxytocin led investors to be more willing
to trust someone to look after their
money, the researchers report in the
journal Nature today. "Our data shows
that oxytocin increases the investors'
trust considerably," says the team of
economists and psychologists at the
University of Zurich. People who inhaled a
nasal spray containing oxytocin, a small
protein found in the brain, were much
more willing to part with their money in a
"trust" game designed for the study.
which is key to friendship, love, and families, not
to mention work, trade and politics.
To assess oxytocin's power, Fehr and his
colleagues devised a complex game in which an
"investor" could choose how many monetary
credits to hand over to a "trustee," who then
decided how much to give back after the stake
had been quadrupled in size. Almost 200 young
men from Zurich universities were recruited to
play the game. The researchers compared the
behaviour and trust of "investors" who inhaled
nasal spray containing oxytocin 50 minutes before
the game with "control" investors who inhaled a
placebo spray. The men who sniffed oxytocin were
significantly more trusting -- 45 per cent of the
oxytocin group showed the maximum trust level,
compared to only 21 per cent in the control group.
When the trustee was replaced with a computer,
the trust level of investors inhaling oxytocin did
not increase. The researchers say this indicates
the neuropeptide promotes social interaction and a
willingness to accept social risks rather than
simply making people more likely to take risks.
Neurologist Dr. Antonio Damasio of the University
5
of Iowa describes the findings as
"remarkable", saying they could lead to
better understanding of "perhaps the
most complex tier of human social
interactions." He suggests that oxytocin
is released in people's brains after they
appraise a social situation. Then the
oxytocin works its charm by modulating
activity of neural networks resulting in
enhanced trusting behaviour.
The Swiss findings open up possibilities
for investigating and treating conditions
in which trust is either diminished, as in
autism, or augmented, as in some causes
of brain damage, Damasio notes in a
Nature commentary.
Fehr and his colleagues say the findings
could help explain common social phobias,
which make people fearful and avoid
social interactions. "Our results might

was picked up on the streets of Edmonton, Alberta
and rescued by a CSTC Rep. from the pound.
Effort were made to find her people. She has no

Other than that she is a very pretty, active,
healthy, happy dog that is loving with people and
tends to be aggressive with other dogs. She has
been in a house situation in Edmonton where she

lead to fertile research on the role of
oxytocin in several mental disorders with
major public-health significance," say the
researchers, who suggest a combination
of psychotherapy and oxytocin might help
alleviate such disorders.
Oxytocin nasal spray is on the market as a
prescription drug used to help women
having difficulty breastfeeding their
babies. Fehr says the idea of using
oxytocin to try influence political,
investment or consumer choices is "purely
theoretical" given the current state of
knowledge.
The Swiss team is now imaging the brain
activity of research subjects as they
make "trust decisions," comparing the
difference between individuals who have
sniffed oxytocin and those who have not.
"This enables us to study the neural
networks activated by oxytocin, and
studying how this interacts with the trust
decision," says Fehr.
TRAINERS AND TRAINEES
by Lee Netzler
Disturbed by squeaking from his crate
I waken from a sound night's sleep
where my lone care was counting sheep
to worry I may be too late.
I'm answering a puppy's cry.
It's 3 a.m., but is all well?
There's one sure-fire way to tell
and that's if everything is dry.
In terms that make it sound polite
"crate training" is the name for this
disruption to my sleeping bliss
that interrupts a peaceful night.
To wake me up it used to take
tornadoes, hail and thunderstorms,
But I've been changed by his reforms
and with one whine I'm wide awake.
I marvel at the ground we've gained
to teach him when and where to pee,
and pleased to see he's being trained,
and well aware he's training me.

Scottie Laws
by Melanie Battson
1. Law of Scottie Inertia
A Scottie never rests nor will remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force-such as the
attachment of leash, incarceration in crate-like containers, and will only rest if and when all activity within
it's home, town, state or country ceases.
2. Law of Scot Motion
A Scot will never move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to go from point A to point B.
(This behavior is intensified whenever attached to the aforementioned leash, and is even more pronounced
if there is another dog along for the walk.
3. Law of Scot Magnetism
Since we all know Scots don't shed, we won't even go there :)
4. Law of Scot Thermodynamics
Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a Scot, all heat flows to the human, but
is usually corrected with slobbery wet kisses.
5. Law of Scot Stretching
A Scot will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken, and will accompany all
good stretches with grunts also in proportion to the nap.
6. Law of Scot Sleeping
All Scots must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as uncomfortable for the people involved
as is possible for the Scot. This only changes if the person truly WANTS the Scot to be there, in which
case, the opposite corner of the room, or house is where you will find the sleeping Scot.
7. Law of Scot Elongation
A Scot can make her body long enough to reach just about any item dangling from a counter top, in hopes
that if there is anything remotely interesting on it, it will come down with the item.
8. Law of Scot Acceleration
A Scot will accelerate at a constant speed, until he gets good and ready to stop.
9. Law of Dinner Table Attendance
Scots must attend all meals when anything good is served, and will gaze fixedly at all food which passes
from plate to mouth.
10. Law of Rug Configuration
No rug may remain in its naturally flat state, for very long, and it is subject to being relocated to a more
appropriate part of the home, i.e. crate.
11. Law of Obedience Resistance
A Scot's resistance varies in inverse proportion to a humans desire for her to do something.
12. First Law of Energy Conservation
Scots know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will therefore use as much energy as
possible.
8
13. Second Law of Energy Conservation
Scots also know that energy cannot be stored, so use as much as possible, by a lot of frapping.
14. Law of Refrigerator Observation
If a Scot watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat.
15. Law of Electric Blanket Attraction
Turn on an electric blanket and a Scot will jump into bed at the speed of light. (Beware though, if the
Scot determines that too much heat is being created, the quickest way to adjust it is to separate the
blanket from it's controller. Or just fuss around enough that the human who was sleeping soundly will
awaken and make the necessary adjustment.
16. Law of Random Comfort Seeking
A Scot will always seek, and usually take over, the most comfortable spot in any given room.
17. Law of Bag / Box Occupancy
All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a Scot's head within the earliest possible nanosecond, and
if not possible, then the offending box/bag must be moved to another part of the house. (see rug note
above)
18. Law of Scot Embarrassment
A Scot's irritation rises in direct proportion to her embarrassment times the amount of human laughter.
19. Law of Milk Consumption
A Scot will drink his weight in milk, squared, just to show you he can, and follow the consumption by a
hearty burp. (And days of endless silent gas attacks...)
20. Law of Furniture Replacement
A Scots desire to destroy furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture, divided by the
number of chew toys laying about.
21. Law of Scot Landing
A Scot will always land in the most painful place possible, and depending upon the volume of the screams of
pain, will accompany the landing with wet kisses, just so you know they are there.
22. Law of Fluid Displacement
A Scot immersed in water will displace her own volume, plus the amount of water in either the Atlantic or
Pacific Oceans.
22a. Law of Fluid Retention
A Scot can hold approximately twenty fluid ounces of water within the confines of the beard. If the
water is cold, it can be retained until the Scot's human has found a nice cozy spot on the couch; the mere
act of joining the human will cause the retained water to immediately transfer to the human. If there is
no human available, all water disperses from the beard as said Scot meanders across the kitchen tile.
23. Law of Scot Disinterest
A Scots interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to
not interest him.
9
24. Law of Pill Rejection
A Scot will accept a pill on Monday with cheese. Tuesday cheese is no longer acceptable, peanut butter
must be substituted. Wednesday, neither of the first two medium are useful, a dollop of cream cheese will
do the trick. Thursday only a hotdog chunk is suitable for administering the medicine. Friday, good luck,
you've used all the common options for dispensing pills, you're on your own.
25. Law of Scot Composition
A Scot is composed of Matter + Matter + Matter.
26. Law of Selective Listening
Although a Scot can hear a can of food being opened a mile away, he/she can't hear a simple command
three feet away, if busy doing something more important.
27. Law of Equidistant Separation
All Scots in a given room will locate at one point, good luck telling one from the other; unless you seek to
take a nice group photo, in which case all Scots will be exactly separated by the area visible in your view
finder.
28. Law of Scot Invisibility
Scots think that if they can't see you, then you must have left.
29. Law of Space-time Continuum
Given enough time, a Scot will wiggle or climb into just about any space.
30. Law of Concentration of Mass
A Scot's mass cannot increase further, as he already weighs a ton.
31. Law of Scot Probability (Certainty Principle)
It is possible to predict where a Scot actually is, especially if you are in the bathroom.
32. Law of Scot Obedience
A Scot will appear to do what you wish, however it is only because they wanted to do it anyway.

CELEBRATING THE PAST
A Calendar for 2006
Celebrate the dogs that you feel made a difference in your kennel or in your heart.
As part of the 2005 Specialty activities the Show Committee is preparing a calendar
which will celebrate some of the great Scotties of our past, dogs which have made a difference
to us and to our kennels. The dogs pictured in the calendar can be the big winners of your
kennel, the boy or girl which was the foundation of your line, a Scottie which you feel made a
contribution to the breed or a Scottie which was your personal favourite. The calendar, for
the year 2006, will have 12 months and will feature a picture of the dog, the dog’s pedigree
and a short message of text. Show shots are fine and people can be in the photo with the dog
– the aim is to highlight the dog and its contribution.
Individual pages cost $100.00 and the content of the page (not including the days of
the month portion) would be a photo, the dog’s pedigree and a text message. The “owner” of
a page would be asked to provide all of the required information and the layout of the page
would be done by the Committee and reviewed by the “owner” prior to printing and
publication. The finished calendar will then be sold with all revenues then being considered
profit for the Club. Deadline for submissions is the end of June, 2005 for a publication date
of 1 August, 2005.
Don’t miss this opportunity to show off your top dogs. There are a couple of months
left but they are going fast. Contact John Price, (613) 489-0086 or
