Customer Reviews

No other Westie book needed if you have this one............

I purchased the earlier edition of this book many years ago touse as a guide book in our kennel. We here at Kemperland Kennel use it often. It is underlined and marked and used. There are even Betadine stains on it from being close at hand when we were dealing with an emergency. It has helped us through thick and thin of Westie grooming, health, breeding, puppy raising, etc. When the author came out with an updated book in 2001, I bought it as well because I didn't want to miss out on ANY of her knowledge and expertise that she had gleaned from working more years with this wonderful breed of dog than I have. We recommend this book to all of our Westie clients. It will answer your questions and upgrade your knowledge like no otherbook on them I have found. It, like the Westie, is the "BEST OF THE BEST".

All aspects of this charming and popular canine breed

In Westies From Head To Tail, Ruth Faherty draws upon her considerable experience and expertise as a former Westie breeder and exhibitor to present a detailed, informative, comprehensive, and descriptive introduction to all aspects of this charming and popular canine breed. Each "reader friendly" chapter is profusely illustrated with black-and-white photography and illustrations. Westies From Head To Tail is essential and rewarding reading for anyone who owns, or is contemplating owning a Westie.

Westie from Head to Tail

I purchased this book 18 years ago when I had my first Westie. Out of all the Westie books I have this book is by far the most informational for new owners as well as seasoned Westie owners. I just got a new Westie puppie this January and went to get my book, which unfortunately was falling apart from overuse. Luckily I found the book on the secondary market. I am anxiously awaiting the updated version coming out this fall. The book is a true winner and to be enjoy by all Westie enthusiasts!!

Wonderful Westie Book

When I first obtained this book I was skeptical, thinking that this was going to be 'one of those typical Westie books etc.', as I read this book, I found more information in such detail from the beginning clear thru to the end to make me realize that this indeed was not just your typical 'Westie informational book', but a very good detailed, to the point book, loaded with important, knowledgeable information for the new pet owner as well as for the breeder of such a wonderful breed as the West Highland White Terrier. I have enjoyed my copy of this book now for a number of years and I am looking forward to reading the 'New' edition by Ruth Faherty as soon as she is finished with it.

Westies from head to tail

If your thinking of owning or own a Westie (West Highland Terrier), this is an excellent book that will answer all the questions that you may have in respect to their care, health, breeding, grooming, evaluating, etc. It is a "must read" for all Westie owners
