Would A Westie Be Right For Me (west Highland White Terrier?

I am currently a student and working part time so I am gone about 8 hours a day but then I am home the rest of th evening from 5 on. I am allowed to have a dog and yes I can afford it and please do not turn this into a lecture about leaving a dog alone all day. I have done a lot of research so I do not want websites, just personal experience and opinions. I live in an apartment but it is right next to an extensive path and there are grassy areas for the dog to potty. I do not wanta dog to sit in my apartment abd bark all day as I do have neighbors and do not want to upset them. I know that terriers can be stubborn and spunky, but I like that about the breed. I am just worried about leaving him alone for 8 hours in a crate or pent up in the kitchen when he is a little older and I know he will not chew on the cabinents. Thanks for your answers and please be nice.

Would A West Highland White Terrier Right For Me?

I’m 12 years old. I have a pet hedgehog, and also share the responsibility of my older sisters rat. My family has owned dogs in the past, that have past away, and I believe I’m ready to take on the responsibility of my own dog. Yes I am young and clearly can not pay emergency vet bills if need be, but my mother said if something happens in which i can’t pay myself she will be more then willing to help. I am just having troubles deciding on a breed. I am probably going to adopt from a shelter, because there are so many homeless pets, but there are still tons of pure bred dogs in shelters to pick from. Westies are one of the dog breeds that have come to interest, and I would like to know if a westie would suit my life style.
I have school 8-4, and have a medium sized back yard with a small doggie door. I want a dog that will like to relax and sit on my lap while on the computer or watching TV, but also a dog that would like a nice long walk, or a game of fetch.I would prefer a dog under 20 pounds. And I don’t mind giving baths, or brushing a coat a few times a week. My mom is an experienced groomer, so if it is a dog that is going to need a monthly trim, or anything like that, would be okay. I am probably going to wait until summer to adopt a dog/puppy, so i will have plenty of time to bond with him/her before i have to return to school. I am open to any other suggestions of dog breeds as well, and i appreciate every ones help.

Which Breed Of Dog Would Be Best?

Im looking to get a new dog but im not sure on which breed so am looking for some advice. im looking for a dog that is;
1) toy or small (under 10kg).
2) good temperment important.
3) for showing and mabe agility.
4) prefure longer coat and that needs grooming.
5)smart and good to train.
i allready own a pom, long coat chihuahua, lhasa apso(in fullcoat) and a westie. so none of these breeds please.

I Am Not Sure If I Should Take That Dog. What Would You Do?

I just found out that the woman who is offering me a 9-month old JRT x Collie has been back yard breeding. Her 4-year-old Westie had already 25 pups. She says that she is neutering and spaying her dogs now (she currently has 10), but I am not too sure, as one of the dogs seems to be pregnant again.
I had one of her dogs for a day to see how it gets on with my dog, and it is lovely, apart from not being trained at all.
On one hand I am worried about this dog, on the other hand I don’t want to make space for her to have more pups.
My motto is: Don’t breed or buy whilst homeless die. So in this case, I am not too sure. She is giving several dog away for free now, but I still don’t feel very sure.

Would A West Highland White Terrier Or Westie Attack My Parakeets If I Got One As A Puppy?

I was thinking of adopting a Westie Puppy and not sure if it would be ok with my 2 parakeets. I don’t let them fly around but would a Westie try to attack the birds?

What Would Be A Good Name For A West Highland White Terrier Dog?

I don’t know what to name her!
Just in case you didn’t know:
It is a very small dog, white of course.
It’s a girl.
From what I can tell she is very prissy.
Any suggestions will be great. Big names, multiple names, small names, anything will be fine. Thank you so much.

How Would A West Highland White Terrier React If…?

We have a Westie that’s almost 11 years old, and we were going to bring home a puppy Cairn Terrier. They’re both females, and we would still pay a lot of attention to our Westie, but how would she react?

I Have A Seventh Month Lab. Would It Be A Good Idea To Get A Chihuahua Or White West Highland Terrier?

My lab is very friendly but hasn’t been around other dogs besides a stay at the vet where they gave her puppy play time with dogs her size. I was considering getting a chihuahua or a white west highland terrier. Would it be a good idea? If so which dog would get along better with my lab?
