Mating West Highland White
It is important that your
Westie is mated at the right time if she is to conceive. You should discuss this matter
with your vet and perhaps have a test done which a blood sample taken can reveal the
optimum time to mate. The test is useful if a previous mating failed.
You should chose a Westie stud according to your needs, if your bitch is a
champion Cruft's winner, then you will probable not be interested in this
article anyway. However those of you who are enthusiastic and would love to
experience the joy of having your Westie give birth to a wonderful litter of
pups, the choice of stud will be down to availability, and the knowledge you may
have of a friends Westie.
There are no guarantees that two top dogs will produce other top dogs, However
they will produce Westie's, and in my book that is all that matters. Mating your dog
purely to make money is wrong.
