The S.S. AMERICAN FORWARDER was on the Dublin/Glasgow run and on one return voyage the captain brought Big Mike a full bred Scottish Terrier - male - with all the pedigree papers - a descendant of Ch. MacDuff etc. - It's easier to get a dog out of the U.K. than to bring one in. Mike was proud of this animal and paraded him throughout his neighborhood. One day he received a phone call from a woman who had a female of the same breed who was interested in mating her "bitch" to Mike's male - and she began to grill him on his dog's sexual experience, stud fee, etc. Mike began to squirm - he said he felt like he was being interviewed for a possible "assignation" - and he - a man of the world - felt uncomfortable. Anyway, we never did find out what the stud fee was.........
On a personal note I had a female Scottie for thirteen years - she bonded to the family and snapped at everyone else she met.
