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.
Customer Review: 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.

This one was pretty cheap and comes with a free training dvd. Gotta love the free stuff . I thought it was very informative. I just got a Jack Russel Terrier (named Eddie lol ). I didn't have a clue about the breed. He was giving to me as a gift. Well we love Eddie and I think this book helped us take care of him. We have no previous experence with dogs, our apartment didn't allow it. So from my experence, this book is a good source of dog health care books information. They also have a bunch of other dog care books if you have a different breed.
