About Our Puppies...
Bringing Home Your New Puppy...
Bringing a new puppy or dog into your
family is a large emotional, mental, physical, and financial
responsibility. You should seriously consider all aspects of adding a
pup/dog to your family, and, the new pup/dog SHOULD be considered a part
of your family. All family member should be in agreement about this
responsibility. If even ONE member is opposed or not totally supportive,
you are asking for trouble. You will be brining a pup/dog into a NO WIN
situation. This will create a stressful situation and the pup/dog will
experience the negative fallout. Be certain you have carefully
researched different breeds and the care of the pup to find the breed
that fits your family, personality routine, and lifestyle. Prospective
Westie owners should take the Westie Profiler on the WHWTCA Home Page. We should not be a DISPOSABLE DOG society. The best analogy for adding a
pup to your home is that their needs, training, and care will closely
parallel those of an infant or toddler.
 Once
you have successfully gone through the above process and have selected a
breed you must find "reputable" breeders of that breed. Purchasing a
pup/dog from a pet store or backyard breeder is asking for problems and
very possibly heartache. A "reputable" breeder will interview you, the
perspective owner, almost as stringently as you interview them. Be aware
that purchasing a pup/dog from a reputable breeder will cost more money
than your other options. However, the money and emotional trauma you
are likely to experience and expend with the other options more than
justifies the extra cost.
Once you are dealing with a reputable
breeder(s), you will be ready to select a pup/dog. I tell people that
the pups/dogs are never wrong. When you go see them, ONE will select
you. They KNOW!!! I recommend letting the pup/dog select you. Also, let
me dispel a myth...most people think that the females are sweeter, more
affectionate, and easier to train. The reality with most breeds is that
the males (as a general rule) tend to be more affectionate and easier to
train. Both genders are wonderful
