The 'Reserved Gentleman' sums 'Oliver' (Aust. Ch. Ballindalloch Xpecto) up.  He prefers to be cautious, yet loyal, whilst being always a gentleman - a true Scotsman.

Oliver was also bred by Mrs. Sue Johnson of Balindalloch Scottish Terriers in Victoria. Both Ken and I are grateful to Mrs. Sue Johnson for sending us our gentle Scotsman. He resides with Ken Marcham who loves and adores him to bits. Ken prepares him to perfection for the show ring. Oliver is handled by myself in the show ring. Ever the gentlemen Oliver obliges with his best every time on entering the ring.

As Oliver is a mature dower Scottie, he has always been shown above his class in the Australian Bred Class. He has received several in – group Awards in this class and has continuously held his own against much older dogs within the breed and within the terrier group.

In 2007 Oliver attained his Australian Championship title in style with a Best In Group.
