Thank you all for your replies, it has put my mind at ease, much appreciated.

Hi, I am awaiting the birth of a westie with a breeder due end of February. The breeder has advised that the mother to be has a kink at the tip of her tail which they had docked as it caught in the door. The breeder also has just had another litter of pups in December from a different mother and one was born with a bent tail which they thought was a 'packaging' issue and the vet suggested docking. Should I be concerned with this ? Is this common and could there be any other health concerns with kinks in tails. I do not want to show dog it is going to be a family dog. Many thanks

Thank you for your help much appreciated, also about the nutrition side, I want to get this right. I know I have made wise choice, I cannot tell you how much I miss my Westie . I want to be super prepared and informed for my new puppy.

Dear Westie Owners, I am preparing for my new puppy at the end of April and would like your advice on pet insurance experiences. Particulary with any common Westie health issues that are not covered by insurance. My last Westie who I lost last year to a long battle with diabetes complications, initally had insurance but found there were so many exclusion it was not worth it. Many thanks for your feedback.
