Max and Coco have a home

For those of you who have been wondering, after 3 months and several false starts and dashed hopes, brother and sister Max and Coco finally found a wonderful new home in May. We hope to see the whole pack at our next Westie Walk!

Coco and Max are looking for a new home

Barbara, and her daughter Katie, are in the unfortunate position of having to re-home their Westies, Coco and Max due to personal reasons.  Westie Walkers has in the past helped other Westies be adopted, so we hope that either you, or someone you know, will want to add Coco and Max to their pack and love them as much as Barbara and Katie do.  Barbara has sent us a biography of Coco and Max, which we have included below.  We hesitate to put personal contact details on the website, so if you are interested in contacting Barbara, please send us an email using the "Contact Us" link at the top of this page and we will put you in contact with her.

Max and coco are brother and sister and have never been separated - it is very important to us that this remains the case as when they are separated they pine for one another. They both have a gentle nature but each is an individual....Coco is highly intelligent, bossy and curious and quick (she is the guard dog, so to speak)! Max on the other hand loves to be loved, cuddled, spoiled and is quite sensitive.

We have allowed them to live both in (at night) and out (day time) of the house. My daughter is hearing impaired and Max and Coco have been her constant companions. Max has chosen to sleep on the end of my daughters bed when allowed and Coco prefers to sleep on the floor ever vigilant. Occasionally, Max can't resist the temptation to mark his territory. But he usually gets sprung before he has the chance.

They are both used to our large family and familiar faces, including children. Coco will bark at a stranger and stand her ground in the first instant but will sit when instructed or withdraw when whistled or requested.

Both Coco and Max will sit when requested, leave the room or area when ordered and are trained to sit and wait for their food (and permission) when placed in front of them.

They have not been to 'Doggy' School and sometimes they can be a handful when socializing. More often with my daughter than myself.

I hope that this info helps. They are not perfect but they are very loving and adventurous. They are fun just waiting to happen!!

Please let us know if you can help....We can wait as long as it takes for the right home.

Desperately Seeking Westies

Two members of Westie Walkers are looking for mature, preferably female Westies to join their respective existing packs. Daisy recently lost her best friend to old age and the Jadene's 5 year old Westie wants a playmate. If you know of any Westie's needing a loving home and existing pack, please contact Jadene at jadenel@msn.com and Sally at sallyandcampbell@hotmail.com

Have a go at showing your Westie...

and help an trainee show judge get accreditation.

The West Highland White Terrier Club of Queensland will be holding an open show day on 20 September at their grounds at Durack. Since it is an open show, you don't have to be a member of the Canine Control to enter. All your Westie will have to do on the day is be clean (which we know can be difficult sometimes), and walk on a lead in the direction the judge says. At the same time you'll be helping a trainee judge who will be assessed on the day for his national licence. So if you have wanted to see how your Westie goes in a show why not enter and join in the fun and support our state's WHWT Club.

Princess Migaloo

Westies at the EKKA

If you're a Westie fan and are planning on visiting the EKKA this year, then why not attend on Thursday 14th August. That way you'll miss the crowds on People's Day, and you'll get to see the Westies compete for top honours at the show. The secretary of the West Highland White Terrier Club of Queensland kindly let us know that the West Highland Terrier breed will be the eighth breed to be shown on the day. Although the exact time is not yet known, it will likely be in the morning. We'll post an update here when we get the exact times.

Two princes available

Helen has just informed us that Princess Elizabeth has had a litter of 6 beautiful puppies. The four girls have been snapped up, but the two boys are still available. So, if you missed out on a puppy from Leanne's litter, give Helen a call on 3279 2884 or 0417 008 364. The boys, from championship bloodlines, will be available on the 19-22 August. They will be wormed, vaccinated, and registered with CCCQ.

Puppy update

Leanne has sent us an update on Bonnies' litter. As you can see from the photos below, they are adorable and are doing well. Fortunately, or unfortunately if you were too slow to contact Leanne, they have all found homes. We look forward to seeing them at future Westie Walks, after they've had all their shots of course.




Bonnie has a litter

Congratulations to Bonnie, who has just given birth to a litter of pedigree puppies. Three male pups are for sale, and will be ready to leave their Mum at the end of July 2008.

They are all beautiful healthy boys, and growing rapidly. All will be vet checked, wormed and vaccinated, and with papers. Price on application. Please contact Leanne by email, leanne@leannestevens.com.au.
