Hello! I am a first time dog owner, but have had my Westie puppy for close to two years now. I was hoping some experienced people out there could share some advice on loose leash training. My current method: When the puppy starts to pull, I stand still until he looks back at me. I use my...

Hi dog lovers. So last week I brought home a Westie and the experience has been good so far, no major incidences. I decided to join this forum to interact with fellow dog owners to share my experiences with. Does anyone here have a westie? If so, what advice can you give me going forward.

Hello fellow dog lovers. Our family has a 8 year old Westie. He loves life, especially being the center of attention with 6 kids under 9 years old. :) I have recently partnered with a medical lab that has been manufacturing MSM, Chondroitin and Glucosamine supplements for dogs with Hip & Joint...

We have a 14 month old West Highland Terrier who recently has had episodes of diarrhea. It has been going on for 4 weeks, off and on. She has been on 2 different antibiotics that stop the diarrhea, but it returns after being off medication for 24 hours. Our vet has done a stool sample which...

Hey, I have not been on df for awhile so I thought I would stop in and see what was new. While I am at it here are some new pics of my boys: Radar is all grown up now,I cant believe he is a a year and half old now! It would probably be easier to believe he was an adult if he acted like...

We recently added a Westie to our family, and I am pretty clueless on when it comes to grooming them. My other dog is a schnauzer, so I am pretty good with that one, as I just take him to the groomer 3-4 times a year for a cut and bathe him once a month. I know I want to keep his hard coat, but...

Hello everybody! This is actually my very first post so I'm super new here. The main reason why I finally joined a dog forum is because of the cancer hemangiosarcoma my dog was diagnosed with. Sorry if my english is bad, it's not my first language. My 11 year old dog Picolo was diagnosed...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm strongly considering obtaining a west highland terrier puppy. I've been reading a lot about the breed and researching many breeders. I've recently been to a dog show and met a breeder which I am interested in. I was wondering if anyone knows about...

I have a 9 month old Westie female. She is crate trained and stays in her crate for 5-8 hours a day, depending on the day. We enjoy a daily walk and she will go to doggy day care about once a week. At night she sleeps in my room on her bed, but sometimes I do not allow her to sleep in my room...

I'm a previous Westie owner who had good results on Wellness Core. Luckily, no allergy issues. My dog passed away in March (and is missed beyond words, as I'm not very good with emotion-writing) and I'm looking to get a new Westie within the year. As I know they're a breed prone to skin...

Hi all, Warning: This is an introduction/memorial/and breeder question, all in one post, so it's very long. My name is Kelly and I'm from New York. I lost my West Highland White Terrier on March 12th this year from two kinds of cancer. He was 12.5 years old and I had him since I was 10--I...

Kiche loves singing along to piano (Phantom of the Opera).

Okay, I have a Westie show dog that we think has a good chance of finishing his championship this upcoming show if we can have him well groomed. We asked two people for their opinions, and they contradict each other entirely. According to a Westie breeder for the last 15 years: To get a dog’s...

Hi, I have an excellent AKC Westie stud dog and I would like to find some reputable sites to advertise him on. He has had genetic testing done, is in the best of health, has a great temperament, and is the perfect picture of the breed standard for the Westie. If anyone knows of a reputable...
