your puppy
When choosing your puppy, decide whether you want a male or a female.
Go and visit the breeder and look at your puppy’s parents.
Ask about skin problems and look at the entire litter to make sure none of the puppies has patches of dry, leathery or red skin.
Your Westie puppy should have clear, dark eyes that are without tear stains.
The teeth should show no stains and be a bright white and they should line up with the upper incisors closing down over the lower ones.
Check the puppy's gums and tongue which should be pink and healthy.
Your puppy of choice should have a round tummy and a thin layer of fat over the ribs.
A Westie puppy’s joints should not be enlarged or tender to the touch; toes should point forward and not be splayed.
