Stay away from this breeder. I purchased a 16 week old Westie from Rose in 2006 and he was shipped to me. After a few days he did not see right to me, as I had a Westie previously and know what they are like. I called Rose who stated that he just needed time to adjust. I won't go through all of his health issues, but by the time he was 5 years old we had already spent $10,000 on him. I had continued to stay in contact with Rose to let her know all of his health issues and at the $10,000 point she stated that when my dog passed she would give me a new puppy. Well, his health issues continued and finally at the age of 12 he was diagnosed with Testicular cancer. What a shock it was to me when the Oncologist showed me the ultrasound of an undescended testicle. He was neutered when we got him and Rose told me it was done at the early age because he had an undescended testicle. She never mentioned that she only had the one that was descended removed and why would I have questioned it. I definitely would have had the undescended testicle removed if I had known it was there. I contacted Rose right away and she said she was sorry, but she didn't remember it. At this point we had spent roughly $25,000 over 12 years. My dear little boy passed away at home exactly 3 weeks from the day he was diagnosed. I contacted Rose again a few weeks later. I reminded her of her promise to give us a new puppy when our dog passed, but at this point all I wanted was the $1,800 that we had paid her for our dog. She responded that she would only have done it if he had passed at "half life" and that a new puppy now cost $2700. Once again I stated that I didn't want a new puppy, just what we had paid her. She didn't respond and when I reached out to her again she told me to stop contacting her and she was blocking me. So much for standing by her dog or her word!!! I also noticed she is no longer listed on the breeder list for the West Highland White Terrier Club of America...why? After my horrible experience, I would NOT recommend this breeder. read more
