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 Bavarian Mountain Hound
The Bavarian Mountain Hound is a medium, athletic scent hound bred in Bavaria for tracking wounded game. Calm and reserved with strangers but affectionate with family, it has a short red‑to‑fawn coat and excels in scent work. Best for active homes that enjoy regular outdoor and mental activity.
