You and your family have decided to get a dog, and in this case, a West Highland White Terrier, or a “Westie”. I’m going to assume (hopefully) you’ve done your homework and know that a Westie is the right dog for you and your family. So how do you find your Westie? It can be daunting. The best advice I can give you is, PATIENCE, PATIENCE, and more PATIENCE! I’ve been there myself, the decision is made; you, your spouse and the kids are excited. You want a dog, and you want it, NOW! Getting a dog is like purchasing a home; you’ll probably have your dog longer than you will stay in your new home. Would you buy the first home you see when the realtor tells you it fits your needs? No. But once you see that Westie puppy, it’s done, it’s the one, you can’t resist, LOVE it!
