You should do YEARS of research before you attempt to breed a dog. And before breeding your own, how about assist a local REPUTABLE breeder in breeding so you have some experience and see how it's done?

You wouldn't believe how expensive it is to raise a litter. And almost no profit is made at all, if any.

I suggest you tell your friends and family to look into local rescues and shelters to find a Westie or a Westie mix.
