MEET “SISSA” OUR WESTIE PUPPY

BELOW ARE THE TOP 5 REASONS WHY I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A WESTIE.

1. West Highland Terriers are extremely smart- Our puppy is very smart. We have had no problem potty training her. She has had only a few accidents, but that is expected. We have crate trained her and it seems to be working great. Another thing to keep in mind is when we brought her home she didn’t bark or cry all night like most puppies. Sissa also is responding well to commands such as, sit, lay down, and stay.

2. They are great around other animals- Our puppy gets along great with all other kinds of animals. We have taken her around big dogs, little dogs, and even pigs with no issues. She gets along so well that sometimes I feel the animals are annoyed by her. :)) All she wants to do is play.

3. Westies are great with small kids and other family members-  Sissa loveeeeeesss her brothers, she plays with them everyday. I have two little boys that play rough, but it doesn’t faze her one bit, she gets right in there with them. The love Sissa has for her brothers is also so strong as well. She really is such a great addition to our family.

4. Westies are very sweet and love to be loved- Sissa loves to be snuggled. She is super sweet. To say she is a hugger is an understatement. There is also no denying that she is a “daddies girl”. Although she is little, she has a big, huge heart of gold.

5- Our Westie will speak to us- Sissa will let us know by a certain bark when she has to go potty. Sissa will also let us know when someone is at the door. With that being said she is a great alerter but also a cheerful greeter. 🙂

Even though Westies are super cute and snuggly they do have a little Sass to them. I found this list on Google and it seems to be spot on with Sissa. 🙂
