Dog Profiles
BRITISH ICONS
As part of our commitment to promoting traditional British dog breeds, we have chosen to name our dogs after notable British female icons.
Frankie
Scottish Terrier Female
Named after Rosalin Franklin. Franklin was a pioneering British scientist whose work in X-ray crystallography was crucial to understanding the structure of DNA, providing key evidence that helped reveal DNA's double-helix structure. Franklin also made significant contributions to the study of viruses, coal, and graphite. Today, she is recognised as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century and a trailblazer for women in science.
Frankie joined our family in November 2025, and from the very start she has embodied every Scottish Terrier trait you could possibly imagine. Food-orientated? Absolutely. Everything on her own terms? Of course. Stubborn? Without question. Plays like a titan? Definitely. And yet she is also endlessly loving and generous with her kisses.
She really is — well — Scottie.
Frankie loves:
- Her zebra toy
- Tug rope games
- Walks
- Playtime
- A cup of tea
- Raw carrots
Frankie hates:
- Walking in the rain
- When Mam makes a new coat and she has to model it
- The hoover
- Sweeping brushes
Frankie began ring-craft training in January 2026 and is already working towards her Kennel Club Foundation and Bronze Awards. She is doing incredibly well, with huge improvements every week in her agility and commands. As we have bonded and gotten to know her, Frankie has shown a real willingness and ability to learn, making her a joy to train. We have no doubt she will continue to thrive throughout her training journey.
Annie
West Highland White Terrier Female
Named after Annie Lennox. Lennox is an acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter, musician, and humanitarian. She first rose to international fame as one half of the pop duo Eurythmics, known for hits such as Sweet Dreams. Throughout her solo career, Lennox has earned numerous awards, however, beyond music, she is widely respected for her charitable work and advocacy on issues including HIV/AIDS awareness, women's rights, and global health.
Annie joined our family in February 2026 and formed an instant bond with Frankie. Although she started off a little quiet and reserved, it didn't take long for her confidence and affectionate nature, so typical of Westies, to shine through. She has quickly claimed her place in the family as the 'wild child': full of energy, playful, and happily independent. That said, after a busy day of rearranging the soft furnishings, she's always ready to curl up for cuddles, kisses, and a well-earned snooze.
Annie really displays the fierce independance of a westie
Annie loves:
- Frankie
- Any of her toys (especially if they happen to be your personal items)
- Walks
- Playtime
- Watching the world go by from the window
- Cheese
Annie hates:
- Going out in the rain
- Being left inside when you're outside
- Being apart from Frankie
Annie began ringcraft training in March 2026 and is already working towards her Kennel Club Foundation and Bronze Awards. She is progressing incredibly well, especially with Frankie's support. Although she can still be a little nervous on the table, she walks beautifully and is responding well to her commands.
As we've spent more time getting to know her, Annie has shown herself to be a deeply affectionate pup with a wonderfully unique personality. She is an absolute joy to train, and we have no doubt she will continue to thrive throughout her training journey.
