Exclusive:
The Westie Returns - written by Elizabeth Everill
“I’ve taken a cottage in Achiltibuie, Wester Ross, for three weeks,”
announced my younger son at the other end of the telephone. “Thought you
might like to join me and bring Jock. He would be returning to his place of
origin, wouldn’t he?”
Yes he
would, I mused to myself later, after accepting this welcome invitation. But
how would Jock cope with such an environment? I could feel a project coming
on.

How will Jock cope returning to the Scottish Highlands of his breed
predecessors?
Follow his fascinating canine journey of a modern dog re-tracing the steps
of his ancestors

Biggles would [...]

confidence is growing. He would need a patient owner who is around most of
the time so they can train and socialise him. Puppy classes or basic
training would be beneficial. Digby enjoys the company of other dogs and
seems to relax [...]
Sassy

playful girl who enjoys spending time with people. She is very clean in her

boisterous with other dogs and this may be too much for another [...]
Roxy

playful girl. She enjoys runnning around off the lead, playing with toys and
even retrieving them most of the time. She is very strong on the lead and
would benefit from a firm owner to continue lead training. Best as an [...]
Lira
Lira is a Great Dane cross aged 1 years and 4 months. She is a friendly,
excitable dog who enjoys company and of course, playing! She will need
