We have only had Annie for 1 month. She is the most affectionate Westie we have ever seen! She is very loving, eager to please and very submissive. She always stands on her hind legs when she wants something from you, and it's too cute. We had to put our 12 year old Westie (Molly) down earlier this year but it's almost scary how alike Annie is to Molly! Tonight, after finding yet another similarity w/ Molly, I looked down at Annie and asked "Molly, is that you?"
Irena Whitfield, author of 'My Life With A Westie' discusses how to discourage your Westie from biting. Biting is the most frequent problem she is consulted on.
Definitely the most important issue about male westies is biting. And the most dangerous if it goes on not corrected.
Every day I receive tens of various questions and requests for help with various problems and biting is the most frequent.
First, you should realise that there are no dogs that do not bite. Every dog will bite under the 'right' circumstances. So, don't believe people who tell you that their dog does not bite.
But we should differentiate between a puppy and an adult dog.
