Customer Reviews

Great book

I bought this book in order to learn about my new puppy. It is a very helpful guide for a person who has never have a Westy before. The descriptions and narratives are very easy to understand and the author explains in detail every case illustrating them with lots of pictures. Even though you hire a trainer for your puppy, this book helps you prepare for its arrival in advance and keep up with all the basics throughout the training. The book also looks very nice, it comes in hard cover and glossy finished pages.

An abundance of information

I found so much information about little things as well as the major things regarding taking care of and training a Westie. Great book!

Understandable with Great Pics

For someone who know little or nothing about West Highland White Terrier but is considering one, I recommend this book. It's easy reading and the pictures are very good. The author is obviously very positive about the breed, maybe a little too much, but overall it give you a strong start at what to expect when you go looking for one.

Great reading for new owners!

As a breeder and exhibitor of this fine breed. I recomend this book to all perspective westie owners. What a better way to explain what a versital dog this little breed can be. From therapy dogs right on to working in the feild, Ms. Martin does a great job letting the informed buyer be aware of all the attributes this breed can bring to any home.

The BEST book on the market for new Westie owners!

First time and old time owners alike will love this book. It gives a wonderful overview of the West Highland White Terrier. It includes good puppy selection and training tips as well as breed health care, grooming, and temperment information. We particularly like her coverage of the breed's versatile involvement in canine activities such as agility and tracking. It is also a good book for people who are trying to decide if a Westie is right for them. We recommend Ms. Martin's book to everyone who obtains a Westie from us.
