Hi all
we are searching the internet up and down for a Westie breeder (who is with the IKC) but can't find anyone. We want to stay away from donedeal! If you know any good breeder for Westies please let me know. Thank you!;)

Hi Ive also been looking to get a Westie puppy, and am very wary of who I get it from. Want to get a male dog and the little guy will just be a family pet.. Can I ask why you want to stay away from donedeal? This seems to be the only site I can find with regular updates of puppys..

I have also been trying to contact Mr. G. Fitzpatrick for info.. its a shame he couldnt help so surprized you were told it could take 8-9 mths to get a Westie.. I have been researching about them since June, raging I didnt realise it could take that long would made enquiries sooner..

@ princess aries, if it's a pet Westie you are after ie not planning on showing etc. then perhaps try Westie Rescue.

Westies are one of the breeds which have fallen victim to mass production and back-yard breeding, and it is very, very difficult to source a reputable Westie breeder on the usual websites as a result. The breed is increasingly plagued with health problems, especially with their skin, digestion, hips, and temperament problems.
The breed club have a reputation for being less than helpful, which is really unfair for people who genuinely want to do the right thing and source a well-bred and well-reared pup.
If you consult the Westie Rescue site (www.westierescue.ie), they are happy to direct genuine puppy-buyers to reputable breeders if they can't be convinced to adopt one!

Princess Aries

Thanks for the advice guys will have a look at the Westie Rescue site..

Bizzum you seem to know loads about Westie's do you think I should stay away from Done Deal?

Check out the site I linked you to previously.
All the answers are there!

Try Ann Taggart, she breeds westies, you will get her name of the Irish Kennel Club, has lovely little dogs, remember you have to get them groomed, get their shots every year, take care of their teeth and health, walk your dog, feed your dog and make sure it has shelter and is a happy little fellow, good luck in your search

Sorry, but theres no such breed as a miniature yorkshire terrier or a tea cup.

You are advised to stay clear of anyone advertising such dogs as they are badly bred dogs which are named teacup or miniature as they breed the runt of the litter with another runt of the litter so not healthy at all so i would highly advise staying away from anyone who advertises these dogs.

My advice is avoid anyone advertising their dogs as miniture or teacup, the Yorkie breed standard calls for a dog no heavier than 7lbs, which is pretty small anyway and should be available from a good breeder. Contact the Kennel Club for a list of their reputable breeders.

conan doyle

Thanks for the info. I never really knew how tea cup yorkies were bred so now I'm more aware of what I'm looking for now. I just found out from some else that my second choice of chihuau are also being passed off in bad faith. I'll get on to some one reputable before I do anything. Thanks again guys for the info

conan doyle

thanks for that. I just saw similiar advice on a website. Finding a small dog for an apartment is more daunting that I thought but I'll keep on looking. I know I can give a dog a good home so I think it will be worth it.

Hi I'm trying to decide between a bernese mountain dog or a newfoundland and was wondering if anyone would have info of reputable dog breeders?

Contact the IKC and ask for the number of the Breed Club secretary and then take it from there.

the grooming pa

You should go to some of the shows and meet the people in person, you can get a list of show dates from the IKC (Irish Kennel Club) the best ones to go to if you want to be sure there are some of your particular breed of dog there is the All breed Ch shows,
hope that helps:)

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has any info and Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs? Any breeders in Ireland?

some_dose

Bumping for potential help

Sincerely doubt there are any czech wolfy breeders between here and the UK anyway. In my experience, they are not an easy dog to manage. They seem half wild really with a mind of their own and they're incredibly difficult to train. They can also be extremely dog aggressive. Why do you want one?

I got through to the secretary of the chihuahua club and she was thoroughly unhelpful to be honest. She had only one number for a chihuahua breeder, who was based at the other side of the country.

Does anyone know any reputable smooth coat chihuahua breeders in the Meath/Dublin/Cavan area? would love a tan or white puppy, please let me know if you know any!

Sometimes you have to travel to find a good breeder, I live in Dublin but travelled to Mallow in Cork for my Chihuahua, 3.5hrs there, 3.5hrs back, 7hr round trip but my girl was worth every minute of the journey. If the breeder is a good one the effort you put in to get one of their pups will be worth it in the end!

are you serious

i have to back you up there Irushe;), i done the same thing, got my fella(rottweiler) in cork aswel even though there are breeders here in dublin.
it is quality you want, so you will more than likely have to travel to get it.

Hi folks,
Anyone know any reputable Springer Spaniel (field type, not show type) breeders in Munster? Plenty puppies on donedeal.ie etc but concerned about potential health/temperament issues, and don't think it's worth compromising. The only breeder we found was in Limerick and we haven't received a reply from them. Interested in one as a family pet, not as a gundog or for field trials.

Hi everyone,
