Rare Breeds of Scotland sponsored by Subaru

At the 2025 GWCT Scottish Game Fair, we were proud to host a special gathering dedicated to some of Scotland’s most cherished and endangered native dog breeds.

Each day of the Scottish Game Fair featured a rare breed meet-up, shining a spotlight on three extraordinary breeds: the dignified Dandie Dinmont Terrier, the noble Scottish Deerhound, and the elegant Gordon Setter.

One breed took centre stage each day, offering visitors the unique chance to meet these remarkable dogs up close, discover their rich histories, and chat with passionate owners and breeders who are working hard to safeguard their future.

At a time when many native breeds are in decline, these meet-ups are a celebration of Scotland’s original working dogs—each one a living link to our land, heritage, and sporting traditions.
