Krystal Dotson - 2011-08-01 I had a westie growing up. She was THE BEST dog ever! She was very loving and had such a personality! And though we didn't have cats when she grew up she had no problem in her later years when we did get one. I miss her dearly she lived until she was 17.

Charlie Roche - 2011-08-01 They are good pups. Very intelligent, even tempered, not barkers, affectionate.
Debbie Danner - 2010-12-06 My Westie is 6 years old and recently started having problems walking when I took him outside to go potty. I called him inside and he had trouble moving his back legs. Today he had problems moving his front legs. It is really cold about 20 degrees. I'm really worried. Please rsvp.

Editor's Note - 2010-12-07 Does he have trouble moving his legs while indoors where it is not so cold? I would advise taking him to a vet.
Betty - 2011-06-07 Westies are prone to arthiritis. Do you have a regular vet? Ask him/her about this medicine called Rimadyl. My Westie takes it at mealtime, Its a small pill so i give her half in the morning and the other half at night. This drug is meant to drug for provide comfort for dogs with arthritis. Routine monitoring should be done while on any medication. My Westie is almost 13 years old and she is still trotting around like the best in town! She has bouts of stiffness- I do notice that when its cold outdoors it gets extra sensitive. My vet said that it can be because of the quick transfer of warm and cozy indoors to very cold outside. They pee and poop in the oddest positions and the instant warm to cold may stiffen up. Have a sweater for outdoors but take it off inside. Good luck, Betty
Joy - 2011-02-22 Is that beautiful dog for sale? How old is he or she? The dog looks pretty young and I was wondering if it was still a puppy or was a miniature sized Westie? I live in CO and need some advice on where to get a Westie and a Scottie? Please advise!
Shannon - 2010-11-15 I have a west highland white terrier that is after a mouse in my house! If he catches will it hurt him? Give him a disease or anything?
linda speer luck - 2010-09-06 I recently bought a westie for my son. The dog is male, about 12 weeks old. He is in good health, but his head seems small relative to his body. Does the head normally develop more slowly than the body, or is this something we should be concerned about? Thank you very much.
The versatile West Highland White Terrier is fun and adaptable for all sorts of lifestyles!
Dr. jungle, can you please put an article about fox terrier?
