Pity you were not at the royal would have been good to catch up, I know of several westies in SA that have achieved Tracking Dog With Excellence so something to work towards

Westies do well in obedience but remember they are a terrier so you both will have to work that bit harder.

A husher muzzle may be an idea

So sad I gave my puppy a big hug to night Run free forever Nelson

Treasured memories of a special boy I was so lucky to have met

I have imported 4 dogs 2 from the UK 2 from NZ and have always used a bank draft cost about $15 then just post it off. I have noticed on my internet banking that i can now do an international transfer, not had a look as I have had no need so not sure how that works and costs.

Having met Cruise at the Westie show in Victoria last year and having got to know you both so well since this as you know came as such a shock to us. He was a great dog and had proven himself time and again in the show ring, but more than that he was your best friend, our heart goes out to you. Cruise you can now join all the Barbaron westies that were waiting at the bridge for you and run free for ever.

Hi everyone hope you had a great Christmas and the New Year brings you all you wish for. Ours was mixed we had 3 puppies on the 10th Dec 2 girls and a boy all going well. Sadly on the 18th we lost our 11 year old from cancer Suzie (Ch. Barbaron Suzie Quantro) was a lovely girl full of life until the end it was all very sudden and we miss her so much. They say from out of a lose comes new life so perhaps Suzie has told one of the puppies to be just what we are looking for. We shall see but yes the house is so different with out her.

The West Highland White Terrier Club of Victoria have regulary grooming training days for both pet and show grooming. You can find their link on the westie page.

Sorry for you loss Run Free Geordie

I have both westies and lakeland and have used Groomers Royal Jelly shampoo with great success to encourage the coat to grow it is not a quick fix but does work.
