Let’s say you’ve made up your mind about the breed you want, which is a cute Westie puppy for sale. The next step to take is to find a responsible breeder. You can do it from the main club website or even at a Westie show. Your local club’s Breeder Reference Officers can help you find a breeder in your area. Find out if they are registered with the AKC or any association that is relevant to your country.
Responsible breeders always breed to improve the health of the breed, not just to create a product for resale. They know their cattle, study pedigrees and perform extensive health examinations. They will kindly answer your questions and help you with lots of tips and useful information.
You should personally visit the facility where the puppy or puppies were raised, as this will play a significant role in your Westie’s future health and personality. You should also see at least one of the parents and some of the littermates.
A responsible breeder must also provide a contract with health guarantees and papers to register your puppy. West Highland Terriers breeders can be found all over the world; from the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. From states like Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Breeders strive to produce happy, healthy puppies, who are destined to be placed in special, loving homes. Puppies are usually checked by the vet twice before being placed in a new home. The breeders’ experience allows them to avoid skin disorders and any other genetic problems in their lines. They can also instruct you on what you should and shouldn’t do with your Westie.
The worst choices when buying a Westie are Westie hops or dealers, as they are generally looking for a large profit and invest little in raising and caring for puppies. Also avoid backyard breeders whose only goal is to produce puppies and sell them quickly.
