In 1986 we moved to this fantastic piece of God's creation called North Idaho from Central Oregon.  During the past twenty-one years we have slaved many many hours clearing and cleaning the area we now call our home-site.  In the beginning two people could stand 10 feet apart, anywhere, and not see each other.  That's how thick the forest and brush was.  Now, we share this wonderful space with Mule Deer, White Tail Deer, Elk, Moose, Grouse, Snowshoe Hares, Black Bears, and in the winter a cougar may be spotted in our area.  At the moment, our closest neighbor is about a half mile away (in a straight line).  

Now that you know a little about where we are, the following will explain what we are about.

Our mission is to make available truly fine West Highland White Terrier Puppies for "Discriminating Parents".  

We offer with each Westie puppy we place, a FIVE YEAR HEALTH WARRANTY, a puppy care package and continual support to assure the best puppy/owner relationship.

Only three Westie litters, at most, are offered per year, from our breeders, with our sights on excellence in the breed.

Before you begin your search, visit The American Kennel Club's web site at: akc.org, click on BREEDS, select A.K.C. Reg. Breed (West Highland White Terrier), then you can click any of the links to the left.  Here, you'll find much information about the breed and look of this wonderful animal.  It is of the utmost importance to fully understand the Westie and what to look for prior to making any commitment.

Remember, High Quality Westies will catch your eye immediately.  They will always look sharp and clean, not ratty and unkept.  Their ears will not appear to big for their head, their nose should be relatively short, tails should not curve over the back to any extent, and they should appear to be compactly structured exhibiting strong bones.

If you are looking for a quality Westie ------- please, shop around ----- ask as many questions as you can think of of the breeder.  Reputable breeders are always happy to give as much information as needed to make you assured and comfortable. 

Remember one thing:  You won't find much more than "PUPPY MILL" puppies at pet stores.  Simply having A.K.C. reg. does not assure quality.  Only quality breeding stock, responsible breeding practices, great canine temperment, dense coat, good pigmentation, healthy bloodlines, some to many AK.C. champions in the blood lines and THEN, A.K.C. reg. are what make a good canine family member.  Think about this in regard to Pet Shops:  If they are selling a puppy for $500.00, you can be assured the Shop paid around $200.00 to $250.00 for it.  No reputable breeder would sell a QUALITY  $1000.00 to $1500.00 puppy for that price.  That's impossible.  It's only poor quality "Puppy Mill" pups that turn up in pet shops.  Puppy Mills, such a waste of what should be and can be a FANTASTIC BREED.

NEEDED DISCLAIMER:

We have worked for years to breed the very best and healthiest West Highland White Terriers possible.  One thing you need to be aware of is that possibly, even from the creation of the Westie, allergies have been associated with this breed.  Our breeding pairs and their close lineage are/were very healthy dogs and show no signs of on-going allergies problems but, even though we are very diligent in this regard, it is not inconceivable that an allergic condition could flare-up as a "through-back" from many generations ago or a totally new condition to any given puppy/dog.  At times, this may only be a temporary condition treated by a change in diet or short term medication.  This, we can not control and this, you need to understand and be aware of.  There is no way we can guarantee any given puppy will never show an allergic condition.  We constantly work to make this possibility remote but, it can happen.  We do and will always do everything reasonable "to do the right thing", concerning your puppy/dog.  It seems that the past 15 years or so have seen an increase in allergic conditions in nearly every breed of dog and cats as well as humans.  We are quite sure this is directly related to our polluted environment.
