Gifts For Westie Owners

The Westie is foremost a terrier, bred to chase and hunt, to work underground out of sight and hearing of its owner, and therefore, dependent on its own brain and ingenuity . This produces a dog with an independent spirit, and inquisitive nature and an active body . Some people think that terriers are yappy and snappy. This is not true of a well-brought up Westie. Although they can be very determined, a westie does like to please its owner, and so much depends on early training forming a good relationship with your westie. The owner must be prepared to take on the role of "boss" and as soon as a Westie realises who is 'top of the pack' , he will happily do as told-though not the speed and docility of a gundog ! The Westie does get on well with children, but I would always be wary of selling a puppy to a family with very small children- unless the parents are experienced dog owners. We stock a great range of gifts for westie owners including westie throws, westie cushions, westie wall hangings and westie doormats.
