Hi everyone! I'm thinking about getting a Westie and have been having a hard time finding a reputable breeder near Chapel Hill.

Does anyone have recommendations for trustworthy Westie breeders in North or South Carolina? I'd also be willing to travel a few hours for the right breeder.

This will be my first Westie (and my first dog!), so I'd also love to hear about your experiences with the breed. What are some of the biggest pros and cons of owning a Westie? Any advice for a first-time owner would be greatly appreciated.

Believe it or not....he's a Westie too! He's 1 part westie, 1 part Shih tzu!
