my SIL is looking for a westie (?sp) breeder. They live about 1 1/2 hours outside of NYC near the Hudson river in Rhinebeck NY(KIngston area). All that she has been able to find have not returned her calls...

I told her that you guys would be able to help her....
?anyone with ideas?
 
I dont know what your tlaking about, but remember them dolls that where called "wetsy betsy"
 
I think I need new contacts. I read the title as need a website breeder. I had no idea what that was.:eek:

Good luck finding a Westie Breeder.:)
 

this is not helping my SIL, but I sure am doing a whole lot of giggling here all by myself whilr my family sleeps!!:p
 
My sister breeds Westie's, but they live in Mansfield, TX. My BIL said they found theirs in the paper, but also suggested doing a search on Yahoo.

Hey, Sis, Mickey is a Westie. It's short for West Highland White Terrier. They're very stubborn and bark a lot, but they're also loveable and very protective. :)

Sis, I bet Mickey isn't 1/2 as stubborn as Boo.;) He's so cute! It looks like he and your kitty are talking in that pic.:)
 
Sorry I can't help with the breeder. My sister with fur, Heather is a Westie and she is the sweetest, most lovable pooch around! I think she didn't get the stubborn-barking gene....but then, she doesn't know she's not a human (ssh..we don't tell her!) Believe me, you want this dog's life....it's all about her in my moms house that's for sure. Sometimes my mom even calls me Heather!

Unfortunately her breeder got out of the business, otherwise I'd give you the info!
 
I would second the idea of using yahoo or google to look for breeders. We have a westie and she definately got the stubborn/barking gene. But she is a cute, loving, and sweet little one. She is our westie watch dog and a pestie westie. Good luck on your search.
 
Live in NY on Long Island, My Westie is four years old this week. Very Smart & Loyal Dog, Will bark. Good with Kids and is Hypoallergic ( Whatever that Word is). Bought mine from an established Store in Business for 26 years. Westies do have sking problems and can develop Skin Allergies, It looks like the picture of the one in this thread has something like that. Look in local paper also there are several Westie Websites. Great Dog. Loves attention. In fact for training we would ignore the dog, could'nt stand it.
 
Please don't buy from a pet store! So many of those puppies come from "puppy mills" and they don't pay much attention to genetic problems like skin conditions. A good reptable breeder will be breeding for betterment of the breed and will give a contract guaranteeing against those kinds of hereditary defects. I suggest you go to the AKC web site or the West Highland Terrier Club of America web site, and they should have breeder listings. I believe you need to do .org at the end of the string. These are all non-profit type orgnaizations.

I have been an Airedale terrier breeder for 28 years, and I just hate to see folks paying big prices for inferior puppies at these pet shops!

Mansfiled is South of Arlington (up by Dallas/Ft. Worth)
 
http://www.westieclubamerica.com/ is the place to start. If you go to this home page, be sure to click on "choosing a breeder" and also the regional breeders lists. They use email contact rather than listing names on the internet.

Sorry for Double post. When purchasing the dog from the Store I checked for where the dog came from, they only work with breeders and made sure that I got all papers associated with dog and where the dog was breed for contact. Not all Stores deal with Puppy Mills, research is key.,
