Description
We've got a lovely little West Highland Terrier boy looking for his forever home. He's just over 3 months old now and an absolute wee character — full of personality and so affectionate with everyone he meets. He's curious about everything, loves a good play session, and is already getting the hang of his training. Being a Westie, he's got that typical cheeky nature but with a really sweet temperament that makes him brilliant around the family. He's been raised here in Ireland and is well socialised with kids and other dogs. We're only letting him go because we've got our hands full with the rest of the litter, but we want to make sure he goes to a home where he'll get plenty of love and attention. If you think he might be the right pup for you, we'd love to hear from you. Feel free to get in touch with any questions you might have.

Safety tips for buyers
Research
Do your research about the breed you're interested in, its characteristics, needs, and potential health issues. This will help you make an informed decision about whether the dog is a good fit for your lifestyle.
Meet in person
Always meet the dog and the seller in person. This allows you to assess the dog's behavior, health, and temperament. It also gives you a chance to gauge the seller's credibility.
Visit the premises
If possible, visit the seller's home or the location where the dog is being kept. This will give you a sense of the dog's living conditions and the environment it's been raised in.
Ask questions
Prepare a list of questions to ask the seller about the dog's history, health records, vaccination status, socialization, training, and any behavioral issues. A responsible seller should be open and honest about these aspects.
Health check
Have a veterinarian conduct a thorough health check on the dog before finalizing the purchase. This can help identify any existing health issues and give you a clear picture of the dog's overall condition.
Request documentation
Ask for any available documentation related to the dog, including health records, vaccination records, microchip information, and any certifications from breed clubs or organizations.
Watch for red flags
Be cautious if the seller seems reluctant to answer your questions, avoids giving you information, or pressures you to make a quick decision. These could be signs of a potential issue.
Check for legal requirements
Make sure you understand the legal requirements for dog ownership in your area. This might include licensing, microchipping, vaccinations, and spaying/neutering.
Pay securely
When making the payment, opt for secure methods such as cash, cashier's check, or electronic transfer. Avoid sending money in advance or using unconventional payment methods.
Trust your instincts
If something doesn't feel right or you're uncertain about the situation, it's okay to walk away. Your gut feeling is often a reliable indicator.
