About the STCA
The Scottish Terrier Club of America members are a diverse group united in their interest in the breed. 
They spend time with their dogs at home on the sofa and at a variety of activities, including social events and all kinds of competitions. Some also breed and raise puppies. Some participate in the rescue and rehoming of abandoned or unwanted Scots. All love their dogs.
Our club sponsors two conformation specialty shows, and at least one obedience trial, one earthdog trial and one agility trial each year to encourage quality breeding and sportsmanlike competition and fellowship. It offers support to twenty local Scottish Terrier clubs, each serving its area and hosting all kinds of activities.
Our Spring specialty show rotates around the country and our Fall specialty is held in conjunction with Montgomery County Kennel Club's show in Blue Bell, PA. For current show information, please visit our Specialty & Special Event Information page.
As one of the most progressive of breed clubs, the Scottish Terrier Club of America formed a Health Trust Fund ten years ago and gave it the job of surveying and educating about health issues and finding ways of addressing genetic problems.
The STCA has taken an active role in rescue since the 1970's, and in 2005, a Rescue Trust Fund was established to accept tax deductible donations, to support rescue groups with necessary funding, and to be prepared for emergency needs, such as the closing of large puppy mills."
Through the information provided here, we hope to convey who we are, what we do and how you can learn about our beautiful, intelligent, versatile and determined little dogs and join with us in protecting and enjoying them.
