Finding a Quality West Highland Terrier Breeder A quality breeder may be difficult to find on many occasions because it is rather easy to breed these small dogs and even easier to get them passed as whatever breed you would prefer , including the West Highland White Terrier . Hence , it would take a real effort to find out about which of the hundreds of breeders out there is actually a quality West Highland Terrier breeder . Interview the West Highland Terrier Breeder and Look for the Right Signs 1 . A quality breeder will ordinarily have the puppies within their house , and not a demarcated area outside the normal living quarters . These dogs need to be socialized early in their life , and if they do not get it at the right time , they might develop as aggressive animals . A good West Highland Terrier breeder will know this , and have them socialized very early in life . 2 . These dogs are very temperamental initially . They need to be trained early and with consistence , so ' good manners ' become part of their nature . A good breeder will either have them trained , or if you are taking them away too early , warn you about this requirement . 3 . A quality West Highland Terrier breeder is very proud and possessive about his brood . He / she will be very reluctant to let go of their puppies until they are more than assured that you are the best possible owner for it . Be prepared to be interviewed at length and visited at home as well . The quality breeder will look forward to develop a relationship with you so it will be able to keep a tab on its puppy . 4 . A quality breeder will ask you to sign a contract which binds you to return the puppy ( or adult ) West Highland Terrier if for any reason whatsoever , you would not be able to take care of it any longer . The breeder will never take a chance of having their dogs end in a rescue animal shelter . 5 . A good quality breeder will have all the necessary documentation ready regarding the bitch pedigree , the stud 's as well as the medical reports showing that it does not suffer from any genetic defects . It will also have proof that the female is healthy . 6 . The female would not be younger than two years if the present litter is the first one , and the total number of litters should not exceed four over its whole life span . The female and the puppies should look happy and comfortable with their surroundings and your presence .
