Information Needed On West Highland Terriers?

My husband and I are looking to adopt a house-trained, fixed, male westie terrier, who’s owner no longer wants him due to a divorce. SO sad!! I have a toddler and expecting another baby in July. I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this breed. I’ve always admired them, but have never owned one. My husband and I were both pound dog owners growing up, and we do not have any other pets. The owner said “han Solo” came from a very reputable breeder, and loves children and people because he has been around both so much. I am looking for added information in regards to adopting this type of breed, and what I could do to make his transition an easier one as he enters into our family.
Thanks!
