Many owners of Western Highland white terriers would also want to be Westie breeders. A Westie puppy is expensive, so prospective breeders would think that there is a large amount of money are earned by Westie breeders.

However, such thinking is erroneous. Westie puppies seem expensive when bought because of the substantial costs that are involved in producing healthy litters and raising breeding stock of high quality.

Also, Westies produce relatively small litters, while at the same time there are several breeding costs to contend with such as stud fees, veterinary fees, puppy food and vaccinations, deworming, etc.

Considering these costs involved and the time-consuming process of dog breeding, it appears that the venture of Westie breeders isn’t economically viable and that they’re in it not for the money but for the love of it.

West Highland Dogs – or Westies make for good pets at home because of their generally pleasant disposition. These dogs are also relatively safe to keep even with children in the household, although it would be preferable to have them if the kids are not below eight years old.

In order to have a well-behaved pet dog, the owner must assert authority as “pack leader” on his/her animal companion. This is a principle which in particular should be applied to West Highland dogs.

Many pet owners treat Westies as lap dogs but this could create some animal behavioral problems. By allowing such pets, for instance, to jump on one’s lap, the West Highland dogs would be conditioned to thinking that they owns that space and are superior members of the pack than their owner.

                                                                                                       West Highland Terriers belong to one of the most popular dog breeds. In fact, its image is popular worldwide as the mascot of for a Scotch whisky brand (Black & White).

This adoption of the Westie mascot was very apt indeed for West Highland Terriers were originally bred in Scotland and used for hunting out badgers and foxes.

It is said that the Westies breed originated from the western Scotland’s Argyll region during the 1800s. A certain Colonel Malcom thought of breeding the all-white West Highland Terriers when his red hunting terrier was mistaken for a fox during a hunt and was shot.
