Q: How long have you been raising westies?

A: I have been raising Westies for 18 yrs. I own no other dogs

Q: How many Westies do you have?

A: I currently have 5 breeding females and 1 stud dog. I also keep several young females that may pass along their genes in a few yrs when others retire.

Q: How many litters do you have a year?

A: That depends on how many breeding females I have and other criteria. No female is permitted to have more than 1 litter a yr. ansd after a limited number of whelpings (3-4) are retired from our breeding program.

Q: Do your dogs have any history of health/skin problems?

A: We strive for improvement in each litter we produce so we breed no dogs with a history of health, skin or temperment problems.

Q: Do you have any mini westies or curly westies?

A: As a responsible breeder I do not breed Westies that do not conform as closely as possible to the standards set for the breed. All of our Westies are 10-11 inches  high at the shoulder, weigh 14-18 lbs.and have the double coat required for the breed.

Q: Which is better, a male or female Westie?

A: Of course that depends on your own preferences and the individual personality of the dog and the impact his or her enviroment and rearing makes on the dog. As for looks , the male is more like what you see on t.v and calandars. Many owners feel they are also more loving than the females.I can assure you this is not always the case

Q: Will my male hike his leg?

A: This is a matter of training and any male I have ever had would never dream of hiking his leg in the home. When fixed at an early age many never hike at all.

Q: Will my Westie get along with my other pets?

A: This is again a matter of training . In general Westies are very eager to please their owners and easily trained. Many are placed in homes with pet birds etc with no problems.

Q: Are westies good with children?

A: The Westie is a very tough , hardy small dog and I can't think of another who fits better with the entire family INCLUDING CHILDREN. Many of our Westies are placed into families with children. We have never had a compaint.

Q: Which make a better pair if I get 2 westies . If fixed at a young age , dogs consider "fixed dogs as non-sexual" so there is no difference. We have had many folks take home 2 girls or 2 boys that are to this day ,best buddies!
