Advertising in the bagpiper

The Bagpiper welcomes kennel/dog related ads from STCA members, owners, breeders and exhibitors. This is a great way to show off your Scottie, and it also documents our breed for posterity.

We offer full- or half-page ads in color or black and white. There are two options for color: 1) full,  deluxe color which is all color to the edge with full bleed or, 2) econo color which is color photo only with a white, grey or black background.

Special discounts apply to New Champion and camera-ready ads for full page color ads only. All covers (front, inside front, inside back, and back) and all black and white ads are excluded from the discount. The Bagpiper is not responsible for content of ads submitted as camera ready.

Ads that contain claims regarding award standings must indicate the source and date.

The January issue 1 also includes our annual Stud Dog section available in quarter or half page ads. And the Business Cards where members can advertise their kennel on an annual basis recurring in all four issues.

A Scottish Ceilidh!

The Bagpiper announces a new section, Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee), that will run in each issue pending submissions. 

This new section is open to anyone who wishes to honor their Scottish Terrier, a special friend or mentor, or simply a special occasion. This includes a happy birthday wish, gotcha day, new pup, memorial, thank you, anniversary, etc. Tell us your story!

Simply select “Half Page “Ceillidh” Storytelling Ad (color)” from the Ad Type dropdown menu.  Then upload a single photo (.jpg) and a single text file (.docx). Our design staff will take it from there!
