K9 Insider 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
