WESTIE WALKERS - for Westies and Friends of Westies

Diane, one of our regular walkers, is offering dog-sitting or short-term accommodation for your Westie(s), including over the upcoming holiday season!

They have a large, fenced property with a great dog run/shelter .... and they love Westies!
Someone is home each day so your dog would not be alone and would be well cared for in their home.
Sadly, their second Westie  ( almost 13 yrs pld) passed away recently after a prolonged illness.
So, they would welcome looking after your pet!

Westie Wanted - Can You Help Diane?
Diane is also looking for Westie puppy ( male or female) for sale or an older Westie that may need to be re-homed!  Their second Westie that they had for many yrs recently passed away & it's a sad home for Diane without having them around. 

Contact: Di  M: 0423 139 537  ( @ Cashmere 4500  - outer north Brisbane)

Another of our Westie Walker community is wanting to adopt a second Westie into their pack.  Please contact Jess at the number below if you know of a male Westie that needs a new home. 

"We are looking to extend our family by inviting a 2nd Westie to join our clan. Our current Westie, Sasha, is 16 weeks old and is in serious need of an older (preferably house trained) brother. We are looking for a male (desexed) Westie aged anywhere between 8months to 3 years old. Sasha loves other Westies and we can't wait until she has a little soul mate to keep her company. If you know of anyone (or if you, yourself) that has a Westie to sell (or give away) to an excellent home, please let me know as soon as possible. My husband and i look forward to hearing from anyone who can assist us. Please call Jess on 0438383950. Thank you!!"

Di is looking to adopt a Westie as a companion for Angus, who recently lost his mate.  He's lonely and would love the company of another adult female Westie (mind you, not for breeding purposes).  

Please contact Di on 0423 139 537 if you are looking to rehome a Westie.

Attached is a recipe for dog biscuits from Dr Harry of Better Homes and Gardens.  Lulu and Fergus, regulars at our walks, love them.  Even Lulu who is a very fussy eater.  The biscuits are healthy, salt free and will store for up to 2 months.

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!

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

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.

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.
