The Scottish Terrier Club of Greater Louisville was
organized in 1977 by a group of 14 proud Scottie owners who shared an excitement
and enthusiasm for the breed and wanted to share information, swap Scottie
stories and pursue common concerns. The club is operated under the authority
of the American Kennel Club and the Scottish Terrier Club of America. Elected
officers guide the activities and policies as provided in the Club's Constitution,
By-Laws and Code of Ethics.

Our Logo
Our logo represents Derby City, the nickname for Louisville,
Kentucky and its connection to the Kentucky Derby. The horseshoe represents
the famous Kentucky thoroughbreds. The roses are the mark of the Kentucky
Derby champion. The twin spires, used by permission, represent Churchill
Downs, the home of the Derby. The Scottie in the logo's center repesents
our belief that our Scotties will always be the champions of our hearts.
