My wife and I have had three Westies in our lives. All were great dogs. Westies are prone to skin problems, so expect numerous visits to the Vet. Two of our westies had Pancreatitis which caused all kinds of problems with their diet. Westies are strong and can pull hard on a leash. If you are weak or have balance issues, these dogs are not for you. A Westie bark is loud. Probably not the best dog for a small apartment. They love exercise. We miss our Westies, but wouldn't get another due to our age. Hope that helps.
My Westie just passed away in September. Her 14th birthday was July 8th. She owned me from 10 weeks old to over 14 years. She had picked me for her Mommy, when I met her she climbed in my lap and that was it, she was mine and I was hers. To say it was just a lost is an understatement, 3 months and I am still grieving. Westie's are another breed entirely. Devotion, like no other. Protective, as much as my female shepherd that I had from 9 weeks old until her death 2 years before I found my Westie. She had to have 2 allergy shots a week….for 8 years of her life. I cooked chicken and sweet potatoes before that and after that for her. She had surgeries to replace her hind knees ( Patellas.) She had stomach trouble, one kidney……and yet she was a pet that will be no other like her. So if you want to devote the time they make for you, then get one, you will never regret it. But cost, yes they do. I sold a sports car for her care. I have never regretted it. But I was the lucky one, she called me Mommy…..in every other way.
I just lost my westie. He was 16 almost 17. He was considered the Shaq of Westies and was always around 25lbs. We had him since I was 5. I miss him so much.
I have a Westie /schnauzer mix he is a male and is the best dog ever. His name is Tucker and is 15 he does have allergies and a very sensitive stomach. He is very loyal and very loving. He developed fatty tumors we had some removed but he’s gotten more and since he is older vet said it wasn’t a good idea to put him to sleep to remove new ones.
I have 2 ,greatest dogs ever.
My Ted was just like this !
I have a four year old Westie girl. She’s 14 lbs and looooves cuddles and attention! Best dogs ever
I cringe when I see people who let dogs lick their faces and mouths… yuck
I have a 17byear old has just had a lump off he's OK
I love my Westie 😍 ( which is my Granddog, because my daughter moved/changed jobs and couldn't give her the time it takes for them) and thought I would not like little dogs, because I always had Chows , but "Mumu/Millie has stone my heart 💘💘!!!!! As she has gotten older there has been challenges, one in particular is allergies (very odd too 🤔🤔) she blows snot out and I have to wipe it, literally take kelleex and (sorry about next part because it's kinda gross 🤢) PULL OUT THEM so she doesn't like them off or wipe them all over my house, and sometimes they are 1 inch to 6 inches long…… The vet said to give her children Claritin or Zyrtec, and seems like the Zyrtec works better, SO I guess my Question is too ALL, ANYONE EVER HEARD OR HAD THIS with your WESTIE???? 💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️💁♀️
I have 4 Westies, and you describe them very well. Although my boy and the girls are all affectionate. He just pays attention to my needs more. Like when he realized I couldn't run down the steps as fast as him on a leash, he started stopping and waiting on me. He can tell when I am not in a good mood, and tries to comfort or love on me. His daughters and their mother, don't do those things. I think I will subscribe to your channel. 😊
Get a whole basket of Westies❤
I have had 1 female and 2 males. They are fabulous entertainment.
This video is 100% correct!
We have a 13 year old Westie and he has been the best dog you could ask for such a character and personality.
We had our beautiful Gidget for 17 years. She was an amazing family pet. She was tough and was even picked up by a red tail hawk but she quickly ripped his wing off and he dropped her at 5ft. She ran around the yard with the wing in her mouth refusing to surrender the wing, she was truly amazing. Our vet said the Hawk thought Gidget was the snowy rabbit, their favorite food
Love this video – thanks!… but, not sure how accurate the no drool comment is! My rescue was so food obsessed, when you told her to wait and she saw food, she would drool a little! Love her/miss her!
Had a westie Niko for over 12 years .. best dog , best personality , had health issues but what a love Miss him still…
Hi Your video is excellent. I and my family are serial Westie owners. We currently have twin brothers- long story short we didn’t have heart to separate them. Their personalities however are totally different from each other.
Serial Westie owner here: My Penny is such a loyal companion Westie! She's quite the intellectual pet. I've owned several dozen dog breeds from around the world. Westies, are by far THE TOTAL PACKAGE for indoor, and outdoor adventures. A few advice for future owners if you're looking to own this breed.
1. Use body harness, instead of neck or collar leashes. This breed, is physically quick on their feet, and will change at movement directions-QUICKLY!
2. Westies don't do well as a singular dog in the house. They function well with all breeds, so try not to own them, as the sole pup in the house.
3. A variety mix of their dog food diet (wet vs. dry food), will help keep them in optimal health. Go ahead, don't be afraid of mixing their diets.
4. Generic baby shampoo mixed w/vinegar, OR baking soda-is phenomenal for their white coats to smell fresh, and last longer.
Lastly, It doesn't matter the weather outside with this particular breed. Whether it's raining, snowing, or sunshine- they are down to have fun! SO, HAVE FUN! Hands down-the most loyal breed I've ever owned. They will NEVER let you down!
My girl westie is very affectionate, likes to be held, and likes licking us.
She’s been calm at home since she was 1.5 years, mostly just watching the window and sleeping.
But boy oh boy is she bratty. She doesn’t like to wait for me to put on my shoes when we are going for a walk. She’s jumping on her front paws making all sorts of displeased noises 😂
My westie is 12. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old. He is my love. They are just the best dogs. They are German Shepard protective and Yorkie sit in your lap.
Best Breed Ever ! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Hello! I'm researching dog breeds, do you think a Westie's size is suitable for airline travel? Thank you so much for this video, it was so informative!
hi!! i’ve just got a westie and i’m wondering if you have a video about what you should strictly train your westie to do?
My baby always gets bored and starts licking when I’m working even though I work from home and I always feel so bad😢
We have Scottie's, always liked Westie's too ! Your's is beautiful and so well trained !! 😍❤️🇺🇸
I just realized you have this channel! I follow Sami on other platforms. I had a westie named Milo that we rescued when he was 7. Someone was looking for a home for him so we took him in to join our 2 other dogs. His previous owner ignored and ear infection that he had (never took him to the vet!) so by the time he joined us he was 80% deaf. We treated his ears immediately, but the damage was done. He had a great personality, never let his lack of hearing bother him, and was a wonderful dog. We lost him at at 16, and I still miss him. Thanks for the videos, reals, posts etc. on your various platforms!

I have a westie – we got her from the pound so I don’t know if she’s mixed or not. Her tail is curled and her nose is brown. She’s the best dog in the world!! The cutest dog you’ve probably ever seen hahahaha but she’s extremely shy with strangers, and reserved in general. She absolutely loves her family and eating!! For most of her life we have lived out in the country side but for a moment we lived in the city and ughhh she absolutely hates other dogs!! She will run for the hills to get away.
