Shady Nook Scotties

Shady Nook Scotties has been raising AKC Scottish terriers in Boonville, Indiana since 2001, drawing on bloodlines sourced from Europe, South America, and the United States. Dale Hart and his family run the operation out of southwestern Indiana, roughly 20 miles northeast of Evansville, with the kennel name itself rooted in family history — a tribute to a lakeside retreat that belonged to the founders' grandparents.

The program is intentionally kept small, with breeding females receiving veterinary clearance before each litter to confirm they are healthy enough to whelp. Puppies are raised in the home alongside the family, handled and socialized from an early age, and receive regular veterinary checks and deworming before going to new homes. The dogs are fed high-quality food and given nutritional supplements as part of their daily routine.

Bloodlines are a central focus at Shady Nook, with multiple champion-background pedigrees from Europe, South America, and the US reflected in the breeding stock. For families in Indiana and the broader Midwest searching for Scottish terrier puppies, the program places consistent emphasis on correct breed type alongside sound temperament. A one-year health guarantee covering genetic issues is included with each puppy, and the breeders remain available to new owners for guidance on food, grooming, and general care throughout the dog's life.
