Westie Puppies For Sale - Important Questions To Ask Your Breeder

You have done your research and decided that a Westie is the dog for you.  Now you need to visit breeders and find the puppy for you.  When you talk to the breeders you should be ready with questions.  Here are some things you should ask the breeder:

Ask the breeder about the size and temperament of the dogs she raises.  Since the Westie is a terrier and bred to hunt and chase you will be looking at dogs that are independent, active and curious.  Talk to the breeder and find out more about her Westies when it comes to these characteristics.

If you plan to show your Westie you can ask the breeder about her adult dogs and other dogs from her litters who are show dogs.  Any of the pups in the litter may be show quality if the breeder is an experienced exhibitor and breeder.

Be sure to ask the breeder about the health of her puppies.  Take a look at the kennels and see where the puppies and adult dogs spend much of their time.  If the West Highland White Terrier pups and adult dogs are living in unclean, cramped quarters you may want to continue your search.

Talk to different breeders about the type of food they recommend.  Breeders often have favorites and can also assist you in the best type of kennel and equipment to choose for your new pup.

Breeders may also be able to answer your questions about health concerns.  They will know what health issues sometimes occur with Westies and the best way to handle these problems.

If this is your first Westie you can talk to your breeder about the best way to train your new puppy.  Breeders may be able to recommend certain methods or trainers.

A good breeder will be able to answer all your questions and help you to choose a wonderful dog. The breeder will also be able to give you advice about how to train and take care of your new Westie.
