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 Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen
Medium, rustic French scent hound with rough, weatherproof coat and long ears. Cheerful, sociable and affectionate, but independent and strong‑nosed, needing secure fencing, good recall and plenty of exercise. Coat needs regular brushing; ears and weight require routine care.
