Summary
About Skye Terrier
Skye Terriers are long, low terriers from Scotland with a straight, floor-length double coat. Bred to hunt fox and badger, they are calm, loyal and often bond closely with one person. Reserved with strangers, they need moderate exercise, regular grooming, and thoughtful, positive training.
About Alpine Dachsbracke
Compact, sturdy Austrian scent hound with a long body, short strong legs and a dense, weather‑resistant red coat. Calm and affectionate at home but driven by a strong hunting instinct, it needs plenty of exercise, nose work and consistent, positive training to thrive.
