Westie Wonderland

What a cute book! How can anyone resist the beautiful and winsome Westie? Well, I suppose someone who hates animals might, but anyhow, aside from crazy people like that, I'd like to say that this book is really good, and the photos are very nice.

Fast read for setting expectations about your Westie.

This book is a "must read" for those who are new to West Highland Terriers or who are considering buying a Westie. They are a unique breed with their own pecular traits. Learning about them quickly will give you a clear picture of what to expect. The book seems to be accruate with the possible exception that the Westie's learning curve is not quite as rapid as the book implies. They are an intelligent breed and very affectionate, while headstrong at the same time. Handling them effectively requires some homework on the owner's part. This book is a good start!

An Essential book for Westie owners

As a breeder and lover of West Highland White Terriers, I picked this little book to give to each of the families where I place my Westies.There are many books out there on Westies and they are all goodbut I wanted the new owners to have something for a quick-read,that would equip them with essential facts about this breed of dog for a Westie is like no other dog. They are in a class all to themselves. This book does just that---gives the reader lots of information about the Personality, Homecoming, Health, Nutritious feeding program, Grooming, Breed Standard, History of the Westie, Behavior and Training.I recommend this book highly to anyone contemplating getting a Westie. I never tire of reading it again and again and alwaysglean something that helps me be a better person with my Westies.Someone once said that "without communication, there can be no understanding." After reading this book, your understanding of the West Highland White Terrier will increase and it will proportionately affect your communication with your pet, the little dog that is possessed with no small amount of self-esteem!!And you will both understand each other better.
