West Highland Terriers

walkmanwilly

Does anyone know where I can check out the above Terriers as I wish to buy
one if not 2 in the new year. My friends used to own 2 and they were magic dogs but I now have a 3 yr old girl and would love to bring one home.
Any info would be a help!

have you thought about waiting for ones to come up in rescue?

Have to say I spent yesterday evening in the company of a charming middle aged rescue Westie who would be the perfect gentle friend for a three year old girl...

But sorry, he already has a home and if you tried to get him BLOOD would flow!:D

You could even cut out the middleman all together and rescue a westie or two from the pound? They do turn up, either as strays, or sometimes surrendered because the owners cannot relate to the *opinionated* nature of these little guys. Here are the main Dublin Pounds:

if you join petsireland alot of the pound dogs' photos are posted in urgent matters on the site so you would know when one comes in

Ok People...Appreciated!
Never thought of the pounds but worth a try.....
Suppose with Christmas coming,Id say middle January should be throwing
up a few strays on the sides of the country roads.
Since Im in the midlands, might put an ad in the papers...

There is a Westie Rescue based in Louth
You should be able to get the details if you join the Pets Ireland site as before
My mum got a lovely little rescue westie a couple of years ago - mad as a brush but they are all like that I think

Mad as a Brush......Excellent,just what the house needs as my girl is exactly that so they should cancel each other out....maybe!:rolleyes:
