Maybe something less work might be better for her - any suggestions? |
Thank you!
Except for grooming my westie was no trouble. If they go to a groomer it wouldn't be too hard for them. It is just that I tried to do it all myself and really wanted to strip him for a proper coat. Now THAT is a lot of work. After a few years I ended up clipping him instead of stripping (much easier). He still looked cute. (Anyone want to buy a stripping knife???).
If they do decide get a westie be sure that they research and get one from a line that is not prone to allergies as allergies are quite common in white dogs. I ended up feeding my westie raw to alleviate some of his allergies. If they decide to get a westie I can probably point you in the direction of some good breeders with good lines. My westie was a rescue of sorts and probably came from a puppy mill.
